Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas Osborne Earl of Danby and Duke of Leeds: The Stanhope Essay, 1913 In spite of the great part which the Earl of Danby played in English history, no serious attempt has yet been made to provide an adequate account of his life. Of the few brief biographies which have appeared, some are out of date, all are insufficient. That the present work can hope to fill the place so long vacant is not for one moment suggested. Its defects are almost too obvious for mention. Like most prize essays, it has been produced in haste, in the midst of other work. The restrictions imposed have necessitated a brevity and conciseness more admirable in theory than satisfactory in practice. Some of the most promising material has unfortunately not been accessible. The Danby Papers in the possession of the present Duke of Leeds are known only through the catalogue published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission.
