3pp., 4to. Bifolium. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. Newcastle has already been informed of Price's wish to be placed in the Colonial Office by 'the Duke of Roxburghe and others, whose interest in his wefare, would have great weight with me, if I felt that I could consistently with the present claims upon me, hold out any hope of complying with Mr. Price's request'. He is 'not in a position to say what arrangements' he intends to make 'in consequence of the death of Captain Booth', as he is 'very desirous of extending, as far as possible, a system of promotion in the Colonial Service', and has to consider 'many who have many years of residence in unhealthy climate to found their appeals upon'. From the Hankey banking archive.

3pp, 4to. On bifolium. Endorsed 'Copy Letter to Lord Archd. Hamilton | 11th. Feby 1801". In good condition, lightly aged and worn; folded twice. Folded twice. An interesting letter, casting light on the process of electioneering in Georgian Scotland. Written at the start of Hamilton's year-long campaign to be elected Member of Parliament of Lanarkshire, and only a couple of months before the writer's death. Information about both men is to be found in the Oxford History of Parliament. Closely allied with the family of the Duke of Hamilton, and a close friend of the philospher David Hume, Stuart played a prominent part in the celebrated Douglas Cause of the 1760s, and created a sensation in 1773 with his 'Letters to Lord Mansfield'. He acted as an election supervisor for the 9th Duke of Hamilton, to whose children he was a guardian and tutor. He was Member of Parliament for Lanarkshire, 1774-1784; and for Weymouth, 1790-1801. Hamilton, one of the Duke's children, and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, had declared himself for Lanarkshire the month before the date of the letter, and was 'soon confident of success, despite the exertions of Lord Melville'. The following year, after Stuart's death, he would be elected, and would be an active member of the House until his own death. The present item consists of 73 lines of text, neatly and closely written. Addressing the letter to 'My Dear Lord', Stuart begins with an expression of pleasure that Hamilton has reached Edinburgh 'pretty expeditiously'. He has forwarded to 'Mr Boyes' the memorandum that Hamilton left on leaving London, and expects a prompt reply including 'a Roll of the Freeholders of the County [i.e. Lanarkshire] as it stands at present, for without that Roll we are much at a loss here and are cramped in our Operations'. Stuart has been in touch about 'the Election matters' with Hamilton's sister, who shows 'proper zeal and anxiety' on her brother's behalf. He has also written 'to Sir George Colebrook for his Vote & Interest'. Stuart's wife has also written in Hamilton's favour to her 'particular friend' 'Miss Elphinstone', 'soliciting her good Offices with her Brother Mr William Elphinstone [i.e. William Fullerton Elphinstone (1740-1834)] the India Director. She has also written to 'her own near Relation Mr Stirling of Keir, [Stuart's wife was the daughter of Sir William Stirling of Ardoch] who from his extensive Property in the County of Lanark as well as in Perthshire, is entitled to great weight in both Counties'. The second half of the letter contains more news of the election campaign, with reference to Lady Stuart of Castelmilk' and her husband 'the late Sir John Stuart of Castelmilk. Stuart recommends that on receiving the 'Roll of the County Hamilton 'write to every Freeholder of the County'. He enquires when Hamilton will be returning to Town, adding his opinion that 'The Duke's presence & Your Lordships here may be material, & there will certainly be an opportunity of meeting here with Sir James Stuart', who will be coming to London on parliamentary business. Should a meeting take place, Stuart feels that 'matters might be adjusted in a way that would please both parties'. A seven-line postscript concerns 'Genl. Hamilton of [Manderstone?]', whom Stuart has written to.

The subject of the letter is clearly a seditious communication found in the Windsor area and brought to Greville's attention, which he is forwarding for the attention of the Home Secretary, the Duke of Portland. David J. Cox casts light on the context in his 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners, 1792-1839' (2010), stating that from 1792 'at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats'. The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford (1758-1806), the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office. (Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a "quasi" permanent Under-Secretary, coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'.) 1p, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded three times. The endorsement on the reverse of second leaf notes 'one Enclosure', but this is not present. Greville begins the letter: 'Sir | Late Yesterday Evening two respectable Tradesmen of Windsor came to The Queens Lodge & enquired for me on my seeing them, they deliver'd the enclosed to Me, which they informed Me had been thrown Yesterday Evening down the Area of one of their Houses, & found by the Maid Servant who brought it to Them. On examining the contents they were induced immediately to wait upon me with it.' The 'only step's Greville has taken are to ask the men 'not to make mention of the circumstance, or contents of the inclosed, in Windsor but I have given Maynard & Jealous (Officers from the Public Office in Bow Street) directions to keep a good look out, & shall use every means which I think may be useful or proper on this occasion.' He is putting 'the original Letter' in the recipient's hands, 'requesting that You will have the goodness to lay it before the Duke of Portland, by doing which, I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that every necessary attention will be paid to this business, thro' the properest, & best directed channel'. In a postscript he gives 'The Tradesmens names': 'Mr. Dixon, Shoemaker in Thames Street Windsor | Mr. German, Taylor in Thames Street Windsor'. Cox lists 'Maynard' and 'Jeallous [sic]' among the 'particular personnel' requested to accompany the king on journey from Windsor to Weymouth. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

For the context of this letter see David J. Cox, 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners, 1792-1839' (2010): 'From 1792 at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats. These Officers were considered to be part of the royal retinue [] William Anthony, who became an active Principal Officer by 1800, had originally launched his career by attending the King at St James and was transferred to Windsor in 1796.' The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford (1758-1806), the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office, the Duke of Portland being Home Secretary at the time. (Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a "quasi" permanent Under-Secretary, coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'.) 1p, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded three times and endorsed on reverse of second leaf. Having received that morning the unnamed recipient's letter, 'respecting the appointment on trial of William Anthony of the Bow Street Office, in the room of Samuel Mayner lately deceased', he can report that 'Anthony is arrived, & officiated this Morning, & by the character given of Him, & from His appearance, He seems likely to do very well in his new situation'. He 'took an early opportunity' of mentioning to the king 'that the Duke of Portland had appointed William Anthony to be stationed at Windsor, & also that I had received this communication thro' You, all which arrangement His Majesty seem'd to approve of '. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.
