Date(s): 6 Aug 1769 - 1 Nov 1783
Location: BC Misc letters (bound): OSBORNE
Note: The original letters, mounted and bound with typed transcripts in one volume. The 5th Duke of Leeds played an active part in public and parliamentary affairs during the later half of the eighteenth century. His letters to his father mention several notable people of the period, including Lord Pelham, Lord Harcourt, and Tobias Smollet of whom he writes:
"... I have been very much entertained with a
performance of that grumbling dog Smollets call'd
Humphry Clinker in which give the Devil his Due there is
a great deal of humour ..."
Dramatic literature was a favourite object of pursuit of the 5th Duke of Leeds, and few men of his time were more conversant with this branch of English Literature. Included with the letters are Autograph Notes of Scenes from "Cymbeline", and "Beau Stratagem". These were formerly in the Morrison Collection of Autographs, see Catalogue of the Morrison MSS. vol. III, p.138.
