12mo, 5 pp. A substantial letter, closely and neatly written. Very good on lightly-aged paper. A graceful and jaunty letter, verging on the sycophantic. Begins 'I have as many pardons to ask of you for my long Silence as the Pope distributes in a year of Jubillee [sic]. In all Crimes a Confession of them is some Diminution of the Guilt'. 'All the French News I can tell you is that the Card[inal]: Est un Homme Confisque [.] The Faubourg St Germain is vastly emptyd lately, Lord Barrington Strange Mr Lewison and many more decamped last Week. Lord Berkeley is gone to Aubigny where he expected to meet Lord Bolingbroke [.]'.The connection between the two families came throught the first Earl of Denbigh, who married Bridget Stanhope.

See Craig s entry, and that of Chesterfield, in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 4to. Bifolium. The second leaf had been neatly inserted into a windowpane mount. On brittle and aged paper; complete, but coming away at foot from torn remains of mount, with slight chipping at foot of first leaf, the central horizontal fold of which has closed tears along its crease. The item is unsigned, but Lord Craig is identified as the author in pencil in nineteenth century hand twice on the mount. Ninety-two closely-written lines, with extensive revision and amendation. Begins: Few Books have been published of late years wh. have drawn men more than the Letters of ye Earl of C. to his son. The high character of ye Nob. Author & uncommon elegance of the stile & manner have contributed to their celebrity and the peculiar nature of the instructions which they contain their progress in the World. Although untraced, the essay was probably intended for periodical publication, probably in The Mirror or The Lounger .
