Henry Hunt papers concerning his business in France, 1801-1833.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702197691

Letters and documents almost entirely concerning Henry Hunt et Cie, a business partnership for the manufacture and sale of "English shoe-blacking" in France involving Hunt, his son Henry, Charles Wolseley, Frederick Slade, and William Eyre. The collection includes a notarized copy of the 1828 partnership agreement; business correspondence between Henry Hunt and Henry Hunt, Jr. and between Hunt and Francis Moore, the partnership's Paris representative; legal correspondence in French and English concerning the liquidation of the partnership; and transcripts of the dissolution proceedings before the Tribunal de Commerce in Paris, 2 November 1829. Subjects include difficulties with the shipment of bottles, labels and blacking; disagreements over various expenses and bills; and Hunt's resolving to liquidate his investment. Several letters contain brief mention of Hunt's political opinions and current events, particularly letters written during his service in Parliament in 1831. The collection also contains two December, 1816 letters from Hunt to William Hone defending the peaceable Spa Fields meeting and his own conduct there; a February 1826 letter from Hunt to Alexander Baring, ironically thanking him for dubbing Hunt "the Blacking Man" and declaring himself as good a member of Parliament as "the Loanmonger or the Stockjobber;" and a lengthy 1833 letter to John Foster in which Hunt surveys the current political scene.
