‎The Lyttelton Papers: The Property of the Viscount Cobham. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 12 December 1978‎

‎Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 12th December 1978. Printed boards small 4to. 196 pp colour frontispiece and several black-and-white plates. 181 lots. The first section comprises medieval charters including those of Halesowen Abbey and historical letters and documents running from the twelfth century to the Glorious Revolution. Among them are Royal Letters Patent of Kings John and Henry III each with magnificent impressions of the Great Seal of England and with rare examples of medieval seal bags and those granted by Philip and Mary Elizabeth I and James I embellished with initial letter portraits of the monarchs one of James I with the superb coloured portrait which is illustrated as the frontispiece. Poignancy at least is served by the touching autograph �Memoriall� of Elizabeth I by the documents signed by Robert Dudley and his ill-used spouse by Richard Duke of York and George Duke of Clarence and by the bill for a monument in Magdalen College Oxford by the celebrated sculptor Nicholas Stone erected to the memory of the brothers Lyttelton who died together by drowning. Standing on its own is the autograph manuscript of the greater part of the first history of Worcestershire. Thomas Habington its author and godson of Elizabeth I. was a neighbour of the Lytteltons and like members of that family was heavily implicated in the Gunpowder Plot. The remainder of the catalogue is arranged as the papers of individual members of the family in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Sons and grandsons natural and legitimate of Sir Thomas Lyttelton d. 1751. Those of William Henry known affectionately as 'Billy' or more formally as 'Governor' reflecting his successive employments as Governor of South Carolina and Jamaica include letter books of the greatest historical importance providing. ineer alia unpublished information about his dealings with the American Indians. The papers of Admiral Thomas Smith known as �Tom of ten thousand� the illegitimate son of Sir Thomas are a panorama otlife in the navy in the eighteenth century. Bachelor Dean Charles follows the unmarricd Admiral. The letters from Horace Walpole to him are charming; those to his brother more waspish. Mrs Montagu is revealed as his friend; to his brother she was the 'Madonna'. That brother George first Lord Lyttelton poet scholar and Chancellor of the Exchequer gathered round him a galaxy of literary and political stars: Boswell Johnson a letter about George though addressed to his brother Garrick Swift Voltaire Pope James Thomson the elder Pitt Pelham Newcastle Bolingbroke Chesterfield Rodney Shenstone and William Warburton. The fourth Baron's papers include letters by Dickens and Macready about prostitution in the theatre and by Carlyle about the choosing of the librarian of the London Library. His brother.in-law W. E. Gladstone appears in the unlikely guise of poet but also as letter-writer; Queen Victoria as mourner for Albert a subject she rarely touched upon in her letters. Newman on his conversion and Cobden on the Corn Laws are among other correspondents with Manning Macaulay Tennyson Trollope and Browning. Minor marks to rear board otherwise near Very Good. List of estimates laid in. Sotheby's, London, auction catalogue for the sale held on 12th December, 1978 hardcover‎
