Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charlotte Sophie, Countess Bentinck, Vol. 1: Her Life and Times, 1715-1800 The writer of these letter, Charlotte Sophie, 1st Countess Bentinck, only daughter and heiress of Anthony II, Count of Aldenburg, Sovereign Lord of Kniphausen, Varel and Doorwerth, a descendant of William the Silent, was born on August 5th, 1715. The letters of this wonderful old lady to her granddaughter, Sophia Henrietta Hawkins-Whitshed, were all written during the last ten years of her life, between 1790 and 1800, and I found them under the following circumstances. In 1907 we went to live in Ireland, at my early home there, Killincarrick House, Grey-stones. Not far off is another old house of mine, which for several generations has been used as a farm-house. My grandfather, Sir St. Vincent Keene Hawkins-Whitshed, resided in Scotland, but stored various family belongings in this old house in County Wicklow. My father survived my grandfather barely a year, and had thus no time to examine things and put them in order.
