A son of the Earl of Minto, Elliot (hereafter GSE) was Russell's brother-in-law and one of his two executors. The events described in the present collection occurred while GSE was living with Russell, who was then Home Secretary, as his private secretary; and the controversy is over the claim that the replacement of Sir James Hudson as Italian ambassador by GSE's brother, the future Sir Henry Elliot (1817-1907), was an 'act of nepotism' on the part of Russell. A favourite of the Whig leadership, Hudson had served successively as secretary to the legations at Washington, the Hague, and Rio de Janeiro (where he was active in the suppression of the Brazilian slave trade), before being appointed in 1852 minister of legation at Turin. Identifying strongly with the Italian liberal-nationalist movement, he became closely associated with the policies of Cavour. His retirement in 1863 was made, according to the Oxford DNB, 'amid press speculation that Lord John Russell had forced him from office to make way for Russell's brother-in-law Henry Elliot. The controversy was revived in 1868 and 1885.' On Hudson's death The Times, 24 September 1885, described the 'amazement, not unmixed with indignation' on the part of the public over the way in which Hudson had been treated, and the Daily News, 23 September 1885, stated that Hudson 'was, by an act of nepotism too familiarly associated with the names of the allied families, removed by Lord Russell from the Legation there to make way for Sir Henry Elliot'. The present collection consists of the manuscripts of GSE's pamphlet in defence of his brother and Russell, written between 1881 and 1886, with related material (including letters from Countess Russell and Sir Henry Elliot), and including the 'unpublished part' of the pamphlet, containing material which GSE claims is 'especially worthy of attention as exhibiting delusions on [Hudson's] part hardly compatible with soundness of mind'. The collection is in good condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. The following description is divided into twelve parts, and all manuscripts are by GSE unless otherwise stated. ONE: Printed pamphlet titled 'Sir James Hudson and Earl Russell. An Historical Rectification from Authentic Documents. By the Hon. George Elliot.' London: William Ridgway, 169, Piccadilly, W. 1886. [2] + 65pp., 8vo. In grey printed wraps. At the head of the front cover Elliot has written 'With Notes - see pp.18 28 35, 53'. On p.28 is an autograph note concerning the lease of Hudson's house in Turin, and on the other three pages (18, 35 and 53) Elliot has indicated in autograph where notes lettered A, B and C are to be placed. The three autograph 'Notes to Hudson Pamphlet' are in a bundle (10pp., 12mo) on three bifoliums attached with string, loosely inserted in the volume. That the notes were written after the publication of the pamphlet is indicated by a reference in Note C to Lord Clanricarde, 'in a letter to the St. James's Gazette (March 3d. 1886)', taking exception to a paragraph in the pamphlet. Note A (4pp.) contains a 'summary' of correspondence 'found among Hudson's papers after his death', together with an explanation of '[t]he way I obtained knowledge of the above correspondence'. TWO: Holograph manuscript of 'Hudson Case. | The unpublished part', signed at end 'Geo. S. Elliot'. 27pp., 8vo. With deletions and notes. In paper folder. On 20 leaves attached with pink ribbon to leaf bearing the following signed autograph note: 'This is the latter half of my Paper on the Hudson case as originally drawn up. - It contains several particulars which I thought it proper to omit in the published Pamphlet. - | The transaction relating to the the house in Turin which he had made over to Henry Elliot, is especially worthy of attention as exhibiting delusions on his part hardly compatible with soundness of mind. | G. S. E | Jany. 1889'. As Elliot explains in the note, the manuscript is an alternate version of the latter part (pp.54-65) of.
