See, especially, the Hardwicke Papers; the Stowe MSS.; Hist. MSS. Commission (Reports 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11) ; Horace Walpole, Letters (ed. by P.

(ed. by Lord Holland, 2nd ed. revised, London, 1847); Memoirs of the Reign of George III. fed. by G. F. R. Barker, 4 vols., London, 1894) ; Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors of England, Scotland and Ireland (ed. by T. Park, 5 vols., London, 1806). Horace Walpole was violently hostile to Hardwicke, and his criticism, therefore, must be taken with extreme reserve.
