Patent to recreate a dukedom of Newcastle on the marriage of Henrietta, daughter of the last Duke of Newcastle, with the son of Lord Oxford, ca. 1713.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702682417

Thomas Edwards, esq., drafted this patent in Latin to recreate a dukedom of Newcastle when Henrietta Holles, daughter and heir of John Holles, the last Duke of Newcastle, married Edward Harley, the son of Lord Oxford. A note in English in a different hand explained that Edwards wrote this document when it was expected that the Queen would have granted such a patent, which was defeated by the misunderstanding between the persons then in the administration, principally by Lords Halifax and Bolingbroke with Lord Montagu's assistance.
