Letters of Horace Walpole, Volume 2 is a collection of personal letters written by Horace Walpole, a prominent 18th-century English writer, historian, and politician. The book contains letters written between 1753 and 1770, covering a wide range of topics including politics, literature, society, and personal affairs. Walpole's letters offer a unique insight into the political and social landscape of the time, as well as his personal relationships with other influential figures of the period. This volume includes letters to and from notable figures such as George III, David Garrick, and Samuel Johnson. The letters are written in Walpole's distinctive style, characterized by wit, humor, and a keen eye for detail. This volume is a valuable resource for those interested in 18th-century English history, literature, and culture.My last I think was of the 16th. Since that we have had events of almost every sort. A whole administration dismissed, taken again, suspended, confirmed; an insurrection; and we have been at the eve of a civil war. Many thousand Weavers rose, on a bill for their relief being thrown out of the House of Lords by the Duke of Bedford. For four days they were suffered to march about the town with colours displayed, petitioning the King, surrounding the House of Lords, mobbing and wounding the Duke of Bedford, and at last besieging his house, which, with his family, was narrowly saved from destruction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
