Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of William, Earl of Shelburne, Afterwards First of Marquess of Lansdowne, Vol. 1: With Extracts From His Papers and Correspondence In 1870 I undertook to prepare for the Historical Manuscripts Commission a notice of the papers at Lansdowne House, which had been arranged for my grandfather by Sir James Lacaita. During the progress of my work I came to the conclusion that the materials existed for a Life of Lord Shelburne, if in addition to the papers at Lansdowne House I could have access to those of Lord Bute - the Prime Minister - now in the possession of the Earl of Harrowby, and those of Mr. Fox, now in the possession of Lady Holland. I accordingly asked permission of Lady Holland and Lord Harrowby to inspect their respective collections. With the utmost generosity they at once granted my request, and allowed me to take copies of the letters and papers relating to the period during which Lord Shelburne, Mr. Fox, and Lord Bute were in frequent communication.
