Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I return you Mr. Laws' very amusing & characteristic Letter & join heartily in your wishes that he were thirty years younger. I wish you could spare us the first 2 pages - they are lively & would serve as a memento of this worthy old gentleman for whom I really feel a very strong kindliness. I have half a mind to ask him for his plan for India - only it might lead me into longer correspondence then I have leisure for. I write, too, with all my heart in our venerable friends good wishes for the success of the Intelligence & of this I have no doubt - more especially if you adhere resolutely to the golden maxims of controversy - never to treat people as they deserve - & never to impute bad motives - be the conduct of your adversaries which it may - a third might be added - but I suspect you will be saying 'Why you are teaching your Granny to suck eggs!' & so I hold my tongue. Pray send back the little book containing the List of Introductory Letters - as I wish to show it to a friend from the West."

Book excerpt: Concerning letters of introduction; saying "I send your parcel of Papers which I know you wish to lend to Mr. Law. I have looked over such as I had not seen before. I also take the liberty of asking you to look at the accompanying List of letters of introduction which we have at present. If you can give us one or two more I feel confident they will advance our objects. I cannot adequately express how much flattered I feel by the unreserved confidence of your conversation - I trust you will never have any occasion to think it indiscreetly bestowed. My sole wish is to get at the bona fide truth in this great Terra Incognita - & though I feel that the subject is one requiring as many years as I can give it months - I must do what my limited means allow - & therefore it is that I value so highly the sort of intimacy you are so good as to admit me to."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explaining how he had arranged through Sir James Graham for Sir Walter Scott and his daughter to travel to the Mediterranean on the Barham; saying "I called to mention to you that I had a letter yesterday from Scotland about Sir W. Scott's travelling plans - in which it was stated that much anxiety was felt by Sir Walter's friends on account of the great length of the Journey to Naples & that the Medical men seemed to wish that, if possible, he might go straight to the Mediterranean in a man of war. My correspondent (Mr. Cadell) expressed a strong wish that I should discover how far such a thing was possible. I thought it best to see Sir James Graham at once on the subject & I had scarcely read the paragraphs in Mr. Cadell's letter before he said the whole should be arranged without any trouble to Sir Walter - for that he (Sir James) would write to Cap't Pigot of the Barham to request him to give Sir Walter & Miss Scott a passage. Nothing could be more handsome than the manner in which this was done & he desired me to write to Sir Walter Scott to say how happy he felt to have it in his power to be of any use to a person who had contributed so much to the public happiness &c &c &c. My occasion for troubling you with all this is that in Mr. Cadell's Letter, he says it is possible Mr. Lockhart may have written to you on the subject - It occurred to me besides that you would at all events, be glad to know that the affair was settled - & that it has been done in so pleasant a manner. Sir Walter had some scruples, I understand, about asking such a favor but Sir James Graham bid me assure him that he [illegible] there was no favor in the matter - for that there was no officer in the service who could not gladly have accommodated such a man - & no person of any party in the country who would not have done his utmost to contribute anything to the preservation of a life so valuable to us all - This is creditable to all parties, I think."

Download or read book Slavery and the British Country House written by Madge Dresser and published by Historic England Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.
