Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Manuscripts of the Marquess of Lothian: Preserved at Blickling Hall, Norfolk The Manuscripts at Blickling Hall, Norfolk, passed with that property to the Lothian family through the marriage of Lord Ancram (afterwards sixth Marquess) with Lady Henrietta Hobart, daughter of John, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire. The present publication is due to the initiative and active personal interest of the late Constance Marchioness of Lothian, who a few years before her death permitted Mr. D´Arcy Collyer to examine and arrange the numerous charters and papers in her possession at Blickling, which had not been accessible to the Inspector on behalf of the Commissioners on his visit in 1869. These on examination arranged themselves under the three heads which follow: - 1. Ancient deeds and documents. 2. Hobart papers, documents belonging to the period commencing with the first connexion of the Hobart family with the property. 3. Buckinghamshire papers, belonging to the time of John Hobart, second Earl of Buckinghamshire. The last section comprises part of a large collection of diplomatic correspondence and memoranda collected and endorsed by Lord Buckinghamshire himself, which was discovered by Constance Marchioness of Lothian in a cabinet, enclosed in antique cardboard boxes of foreign make, in which they had probably rested undisturbed for just over a century. An instalment of these papers has already been published by the Royal Historical Society in 1900 and 1902 (3rd series, Vols. 2 and 3), together with the text of the official despatches from St. Petersburg, noticed, but not set out, in the Commissioners´ first Report above mentioned.
