Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Whig Society, 1775-1818: Compiled From the Hitherto Unpublished Correspondence of Elizabeth, Viscountess Melbourne, and Emily Lamb, Countess Cowper, Afterwards Viscountess Palmerston
I have to thank Mrs. Laing for sorting the letters, and Mr. Mainwaring, of the London Library, for helping me with the notes. My thanks are also due to Lord Ilchester for giving me copies of some of Lady Melbourne's letters to Lady Holland; and to Mr. Henry Cavendish for aiding me to disentangle a difficult question. There are but few interesting letters from Lady Cowper; but in later life her correspondence with her brother, Sir Frederick Lamb, afterwards Lord Beauvale, Who succeeded his brother, Viscount Melbourne, in the title and estates in 1848, would form a volume in itself.
