Lorm, Hieronymus (Eigentl. Heinrich Landesmann), österr. Poet, philosopher, journalist and literary critic, blinded in 1881 (1821-1902). Eigh. Letter m. U. "Heinrich Landesmann". 2 p. Double leaf. Kl. 8vo. Dresden 27.III.1878. In a manuscript already marked by the suffering of the eyes to the Viennese publisher Leopold Rosner, to which he offers the manuscript of a novel, which plays in Austrian nobility circles of the Vormärz. "... The time constraints are so unfavorable on the shops, in particular the book trade, that you must reject to your 'regret'. This is the answer that you are expected to answer at my request to take a new novel from me in publishing. However, it is possible that the following points may be put to the vote on a proposal. From the 'preface' I enclose, it can be seen that the material is related to that of Spitzer's 'Lord's Right'. Only the representation is an artistic and the extraordinarily exciting content treated with a terrible moral seriousness in the highest sense of the word. The novel plays in Austrian aristocrats of Vormärz, to the part in Dalmatia, to larger part in Vienna and surroundings. The delicate subject alone, which prohibits the print in journals, which also come in girls' retirements, has prevented Hallberger from buying the manuscript, as well as my earlier novels ...". Calls his previous novel published by Hallberger as well as a novel soon to be published, provides information on the expected scope of the new book, the publisher's rights and the transfer into a possible complete edition in 1883. - Lorm has also acquired merits through the invention of a kind of blind script, the "Lormian Finger-Alphabet", which still exists today. - Including a wooden engraving portrait Lorms.
