About this title

Synopsis

As the correspondents in volumes 15 and 16 were brought together under the category of 'antiquaries, ' those in this volume may be classed as 'virtuosi, ' although 'lawyer' would suit Hardinge better. Lord Wharncliffe's description of Lord Strafford as 'eminently skilled in architecture and virtu' also fits Chute, Bentely, Lord Harcourt, and Sir William Hamilton.
