Great Britain Manuscripts, Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts and Correspondence of James, First Earl of Charlemont

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The correspondence of Lord Charlemont from 1784 to 1799 and undated letters from or to him, form the subject of the present volume. In this part of the Charlemont collection, there are upwards of seven hundred and fifty dated and more than one hundred and sixty undated letters. Of both these classes catalogues are here printed for the first time; and appended are the portions of the letters which contain matters of interest in relation to public affairs, literature and art.
