Damer family papers, 1800-1850.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702179211

A collection of 16 autograph letters and 3 letter fragments, chiefly written to George Lionel Dawson-Damer or his wife. Some undated; dated or dateable letters range from 1800-1850. Some letters accompanied by original envelope and/or with original seal. Includes one letter from George Lionel Dawson-Damer to his father's cousin, Lady Caroline Damer, thanking her for her contribution of 5000 pounds towards his expenses in the Irish election, and 2 letters to Lady Caroline from her brother, the Earl of Dorchester. Correspondents include the future 5th Duke of Newcastle (then Earl of Lincoln) and such Regency figures as Lord Alvanley, Abraham Hayward and the Duchess of Cannizzaro. Content consists chiefly of society gossip and political speculation. One of the letters from the Earl of Dorchester, dated 1800, mentions the death of Lord Waterford, and a discussion of Maria Edgeworth's "Castle Rackrent," which is described as "the delight of everybody." Another letter from an unidentified ABD of February 1850 praises Victor Hugo's "eloquent denunciation of priestcraft". The undated letter from Hayward describes Disraeli's book as having "fallen stillborn." A letter from E. de Castija appears to have been written from Paris at the time of the Fieschi trial.
