The letters were compiled and edited by Oswald G. Knapp and first published in 1914.

Penelope Pennington was a member of the aristocracy and a close confidante of Piozzi.

The letters cover a wide range of topics, including personal and family matters, literary and artistic pursuits, and political events. They also offer a glimpse into the social customs and mores of the time, particularly with regard to the role of women in society.
