Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Selection From the Papers of the Earls of Marchmont, in the Possession of the Right Hon. Sir George Henry Rose, Vol. 1 of 3: Illustrative of Events From 1685 to 1750
The practice of moderii days has critirely sanc tioned the publication of such family maiiii scripts, as may throw iight upon the maiiners, the literature, and the history of the country; and, when confined within its due iiiiiits, it is founded on evident and general utility. Aiid so great an eagerness has prevailed of late in the public mind for the production of this descriptiori of information, that at this hour, whoever may be in the possession of such papers, will rather be deemed bound to account for withholding them, or for delay iii publishing them, than for laying them before the world.
