MEMOIRS OF HORACE WALPOLE,
AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES.
Including numerous Original Letters, chiefly from Strawberry Hill. Edited by
ELIOT WARBURTON, Esq.
Perhaps no name of modern times is productive of so many pleasant associations as that of Horace Walpole, and certainly no name was ever more intimately connected with so many different subjects of importance in connection with literature, art, fashion, and politics. The position of various members of his family connecting Horace Walpole with the cabinet, the court, and the legislature, his own intercourse with those characters who became remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities, and his reputation as a wit, a scholar, and a virtuoso, cannot fail, it is hoped, to render his memoirs equally amusing and instructive.
