Title: Sir Egerton Brydges on the Poor Laws, [1813-1814].

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of 11 letters to Brydges from Montagu Pennington, in which he primarily discusses political activities and his opinions on works of literature.

Pennington also asks Brydges about the Lee Priory Press; discusses his opinions on writers such as Robert Southey and Sir Walter Scott; and mentions books he has recently bought as well as those he cannot afford. Following the letters, in another hand, is list with about 600 entries titled A catalogue of the principal living authors in Gt. Britain. 1804, followed by lists of authors of voyages of travels, history, antiquities, biography, politics, law, and other subjects.
