This collection likely relates to Monsignor George Talbot, the younger son of Lord Talbot. He was received into the church in 1847, and later ordained by (then) Bishop Wiseman. Talbot's position in the Vatican was unique. He was not only chamberlain to Pius IX but a close friend and his constant attendant. This gave Talbot unusual influence in Rome which was considered by many to be unwarranted. Talbot also remained a close friend of Cardinal Manning. In 1869 Talbot was removed from the Vatican to an asylum where he died in 1886.

Ercole Consalvi was born in Rome on June 8, 1757, and died in Anzio on January 24, 1824. Consalvi came from a noble family of Toscanella. His ancestors belonged to the noble line of the Brunacci in Pisa but one of them settled in Toscanella in the seventeenth century. The grandfather of Ercole, Gregorio Brunacci, inherited a large fortune on condition of taking the name and arms of the Consalvi family. In this way Gregorio Brunacci became Marchese Gregorio Consalvi with residence in Rome.

From 1771 until 1776 Consalvi attended the seminary in Frascati where he won the admiration and protection of Henry Stuart, duke of York, who was the cardinal bishop of Frascati. While in Frascati, he served successively as ponente al Buon Governo, volante di Segnatura, assessore della Segreteria di Stato, and uditore di Rota. Returning to Rome he entered the Accademia Ecclesiastica and on May 20, 1800, became a cardinal deacon but was never ordained a priest. He quickly moved into a curial career.

In 1783 Pius VI named him a private chamberlain. A number of curial positions followed; in 1792 he obtained nomination as an auditor of the Rota. After the death of Pius VI (1799), the cardinals assembled in Venice for the conclave and Consalvi was chosen as secretary by an almost unanimous vote. Cardinal Chiaramonti, elected as Pius VII (1800-1823), soon appointed Consalvi as pro-secretary of state; consequently, Consalvi accompanied the pope to Rome where Consalvi was definitively appointed secretary of state.

During his first years in that office Consalvi was only moderately successful in his efforts to restore the Papal States. His main achievement was the short-lived 1801 Concordat with France which made possible the reestablishment of the church in France after the Revolution. Napoleon later managed to obtain his dismissal from office and force his retirement to Reims. Consalvi was not intimidated. On Napoleon's abdication in 1814, Consalvi was immediately reappointed as secretary of state and represented the pope at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. It was there that he secured the restoration of the Papal States, the reorganization of which occupied the last years of his life. (Moroni, Dizionario v. 17; Enciclopedia Cattolica, v. IV, p. 3945)

Giacomo Cardinal Antonelli was born on April 12, 1806, in Sonnino, near Terracina (Latium), Italy, of a middle-class family that prospered through government farm contracts and land reconstruction. The family was later enobled by Gregory XVI. The family remained faithful to the pontiff during the French occupation and with the help of a Dominican prelate obtained a family prelature.

Giacomo studied at the Roman Seminary and at the Sapienza but never proceeded beyond the diaconate to which he was ordained in 1840. In the offices he held under Gregory XVI he apparently demonstrated intelligence and rare gifts of administrative and executive ability. Support from Cardinals Luigi Lambruschini, papal secretary of state (1836-1846), and the Camaldolese Giacinto Zurla, confessor of Gregory XVI and prefect of studies at the Collegio Urbino, opened the way for Giacomo to a successful career that included many papal posts (e.g., referendario of the Segnatura; assessor of the criminal tribunal in Rome; apostolic delegate to Orvieto, Viterbo, and Macerata; protesoriere della Camera; tesoriere della Camera; sostituto del Cardinal Mattei; and a number of other diplomatic posts). He was elevated to the cardinalate by Pius IX in 1847. He first became pro-secretary of state in 1848 and then secretary of state in 1852, a post he held until his death at the Vatican on November 6, 1876.

Giacomo Antonelli helped formulate and administer the liberal reform of Pius IX who selected him to be premier of the first constitutional ministry of the Papal States. Antonelli arranged the temporary papal residence at Gaeta (1848), when violence arose in the Papal States. He became head of the papal government in exile. His diplomacy was extremely important in the resistance of the papacy to Italian national unification. He reduced dependence on Austria but after 1859 looked to France to protect the States of the Church. He opposed the calling of the First Vatican Council lest it adversely affect relations with France and advised the pope to drop the infallibility question. Nicknamed the "Red Pope," he became the virtual temporal ruler of Rome until 1870. A statesman rather than a prelate, he was praised by his friends but regarded as unscrupulous by his enemies.

Through his efforts the invasion of Rome in 1870 took place with a minimum of violence. He advised Pius IX to remain in Rome and successfully rearranged the papal finances in accord with the reduction of papal temporal sovereignty.
