Letters of Horace Walpole to the Countess of Ossory is a collection of personal letters written by Horace Walpole, an 18th-century English writer and politician, to his close friend and confidante, Mary Caroline Fitzroy, the Countess of Ossory. The letters cover a period of over 30 years, from 1769 to 1797, and provide an intimate glimpse into the life and times of the period, as well as the personalities and relationships of two prominent figures of the time. The letters touch upon a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, art, society, and personal matters, and are written in Walpole's trademark witty and engaging style. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the social and cultural milieu of the 18th century and provides a fascinating insight into the life of one of its most prominent figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
