Letter : to Sir David Dalrymple, 1790 Sept. 21.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702193523

ALS from Walpole in his hand, in which after complaining about his gout, he responds to a series of questions about his recollection of the art collections at the Earl of Exeter's home Burghley House. Walpole's memory is quite detailed about many of the paintings. The rest of the letter is a commentary on what then is occuring in France as a result of the National Assembly's attempt at "correcting a bad government".
