Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Manuscripts of Allan George Finch, Esq., Vol. 1: Of Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland The large and important collection of letters and other documents preserved at Burley-on-the-Hill was the subject of a short report by the late Mr. Horwood in 1879. He chiefly confined his attention, however, to the calendaring of certain common-place books and the cataloguing of law reports, treatises, cases c.; printing only a very small number of letters, and those mostly of the 18th century. It has now been determined by the Commissioners that the collection shall be much more fully dealt with, except as regards the above-mentioned items, for which the reader is referred to Mr. Horwood´s report (Hist. MSS. Comm. Rep. VII, p. 511). The collection may be broadly divided as follows: - 1. Miscellaneous family letters of the 16th and early 17th centuries. 2. The correspondence of Heneage, Earl of Winchilsea, during his embassy to the Porte, 1660-1668. 3. Letters and papers of Sir John Finch, who followed his cousin as ambassador in Turkey. 4. Letters and papers of Sir Heneage Finch, afterwards 1st Earl of Nottingham, and his family. 5. The voluminous correspondence &c. of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham, during his tenure of the office of Secretary of State, 1688-1693. This includes three letter-books, containing copies of the Earl´s letters to the King, Sidney &c. &c., which form a very important supplement to the letter-books in official keeping at the Public Record Office; a very large number of letters from Sir Robert Southwell and others, written from Ireland during the King´s campaign there; and practically the whole of the great series of letters written to Nottingham by the admirals and captains of the fleet during the period of his holding office as Secretary. 6. Eighteenth century letters and papers, including the correspondence of Lady Pomfret with her daughter Lady Charlotte Finch, and many other interesting letters, diaries &c. The early letters of the volume introduce us to three of the ancestors of the Finch family in the 16th century, Sir Thomas Finch, Sir Thomas Moyle and Sir Thomas Heneage. The two former were landowners in Kent, filling various public offices in their county and connected by the marriage of Sir Thomas Finch to Moyle´s daughter Katherine.
