© Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers of William Bingham Baring, second (succeeded 1848; 1799- 1864), his first wife (m.1823) Lady Harriet Mary Montagu (?1805-1857, eldest daughter of the 6th ) and his second wife (m.1858) Louisa Caroline Stewart Mackenzie (1827-1903). Also papers of his only child surviving to adulthood, Mary Florence (1860-1902, married William Compton, fifth ), and their extended family, especially Louisa’s mother, the Hon. Mary Frederica Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth (formerly Lady Hood) (1783-1862). These individuals are referred to below as Bingham, Harriet, Louisa, Mary and Mrs Stewart Mackenzie respectively.

The importance of the papers lies in the enormous range of the correspondents: politicians British and French, writers, artists. Bingham was an MP from 1826 until he succeeded to the peerage, and this, as well as his family of bankers and politicians gave him a wide-ranging acquaintance. Harriet too was deeply interested in politics, and also knew many writers, presiding over a salon and conducting a large correspondence. Louisa was a well-known figure in society, especially in the artistic world. Mrs Stewart Mackenzie was a close friend of Sir Walter Scott. Particularly notable are the correspondences with Scott, Thomas and Jane Carlyle, Dr John Brown, Charles Bullen, Edward Ellice, Louis Adolphe Thiers, Richard Doyle, the 1st Earl of Auckland, Prosper Mérimée, , William M Thackeray, the 4th , the 3rd , Sir Edwin H Landseer, Florence Nightingale, the 1st Earl of Northbrook, Robert Browning, William B Carpenter, Thomas Erskine of Linlathen, John Forster, J A Froude, Anna Jameson, Edward Lear, W L Leitch, the 1st Baron Houghton, Sir Richard Quain, D G Rossetti, A C Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury, Pauline Trevelyan, and John Tyndall. There are also extensive passionate correspondences between Louisa and Harriet Hosmer and Margaret Coutts Trotter.

The papers have been used in Raleigh Trevelyan, A Pre-Raphaelite Circle, , 1978, and Virginia Surtees, The Ludovisi Goddess, Salisbury, 1984.

Bought, 1996, with the aid of a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.

Arrangement:

The original filing system is unknown. When the papers came to the Library, some letters of famous people had been separated out; other letters had been grouped by writer and numbered consecutively (but the individual groups were in no observable order); there was a separate, unnumbered alphabetical sequence; and many more letters, including some which ought to have been in one or other of the previous groups, were not arranged at all. A new arrangement has been imposed by the Library, though it builds on the previous one, the main difference being the separation of the different correspondences; the all too common sequences of undated letters have as yet been mostly left as found.

This is very much an interim listing: much work remains to be done. Many of the correspondents are unidentified, many signatures unread. Much dating, more or less approximate, will be possible after further research. Overlaps between the general and estate correspondences remain to be dealt with. The assistance of users of the papers will be welcome: please point out any suggested improvements to the staff, but do not alter the order yourself.

Note: **** after an entry denotes that a list giving further details about individual letters exists in the Manuscript Collections Division.
