  • The Dropmore Papers (Add
    THE DROPMORE PAPERS (ADD. MSS. 58855-59494) ROBERT A. H. SMITH WILLIAM WYNDHAM, Baron Grenville (1759-1834), Prime Minister from 1806 to 1807 and earlier, from 1791 to 1801, Foreign Secretary under Pitt the Younger, left on his death over 300 portfolios of letters and papers and over 150 letter- and precis-books, the fruits of a public career of some fifty years. The Dropmore Papers, named after Grenville's country home, were acquired by the Department of Manuscripts in 1970. The arrangement of this large collection had been started, apparently at various times, during Grenville's lifetime but remained uncompleted at his death and thereafter. A few historians had used the papers when they were in the possession of the Fortescue family, but they were generally known only through the ten-volume Historical Manu- scripts Commission Report (1892-1927), almost entirely the work of one man, Walter Fitzpatrick.^ J. Holland Rose once declared that he found *no striking phrase which glitters amidst the leaden mass of [Grenville's] speeches and correspondence'.^ Grenville, a slow taciturn man, was rarely a witty or lively correspondent, but 'the leaden mass' remains both an unavoidable obstacle and an invaluable source for historians of Grenville's times. 'Fhis is partly because of Grenville's long public career, both in office and out, and the consequent bulk and scope of material, and partly because the papers of several of his contemporaries, most notably those of Henry Dundas and William Pitt, have been dispersed. The Dropmore Papers supplement other collections in the Department of Manuscripts, such as the Holland House, Auckland, Rose, Wellesley, Liverpool, Fox, and Leeds papers, and, furthermore, join other Grenville family collections acquired earlier, namely papers of his father George Grenville; of Earl Temple, Lord Grenville's uncle; and of George, Marquis of Buckingham, and Thomas, the politician and bibliophile.

  • Thomas Grenville (1755-1846) Y La Bibliofilia Hispánica
    THOMAS GRENVILLE (1755-1846) Y LA BIBLIOFILIA HISPÁNICA BARRY TAYLOR (British Library) A BRITISH LIBRARY debe buena parte de su fondo antiguo hispánico a la donación realizada por Thomas Grenville en 1846. El enfoque del L presente estudio son los veintidós incunables hispánicos que entraron en esta biblioteca gracias a la generosidad del insigne bibliófilo. Para valorar el impacto que supuso la adquisición de la biblioteca grenviliana, hace falta pasar revista a la historia de los fondos incunables españoles de la British Library antes de 1846. 1. A NTES DE GRENVILLE El Museo Británico se fundó en 1753 al reunirse los fondos de varios coleccionistas, entre ellos el médico Sir Hans Sloane 1. (La biblioteca era uno de los departamentos del Museo hasta 1973, año en que se independizó como la British Library). Sloane contaba con buen número de incunables, entre los cuales se hallan solo dos de origen hispánico: una Pasion de Jesu Cristo fragmentaria ([Burgos: Fadrique de Basilea], encuadernada con Jacobo de la Vorágine, Leyenda áurea en castellano ([Burgos: Juan de Burgos]) 2. 1. Sobre la historia del fondo antiguo hispánico, véase Johnson 1988, 249-257; Bloomfield, 1997 2, 153-154; Taylor 2002, 421-430. 2. Véase BMC X, 62, 65. 303 304 BARRY TAYLOR Entre 1823 y 1828 el Museo recibió la biblioteca personal del rey don Jorge III, presentada por su hijo Jorge IV. Entre los más de ochocientos incunables regios, cabe destacar un único tomo hispánico: Diego de Valera, Crónica de España (Salamanca: Impresor de la Gramática de Nebrija, 1495) (BMC X, pág. 50). Entre 1834 y 1837 se subastaron en Londres los 200.000 volúmenes de Richard Heber: de esta biblioteca proceden directamente Buenaventura, Forma noviciorum (Sevilla: Ungut y Polono, 1497) (BMC X, pág.

    The Swan, the Staffords and some Buckinghainshire Yorkist Connections W. J. WHITE THE DEVICE of the Swan, as employed at the present time in the heraldry of Buckinghamshire, is derived from the Staffords, Dukes of Buckingham. This use of the swan in the arms of Stafford in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and in those of the county and towns of Buckinghamshire thereafter has been quoted as an excellent example of heraldic continuity.‘ The source of the swan in heraldry; whether used as an heraldic charge, the crest upon a helm, a supporter of the shield or as a badge on the livery of retainers may _lie in the Swan Knight of legend, or less tenuously, though more prosaically, by descent from the Counts of Boulogne.2 Finally, one should mention another view that the origin of the heraldic swan was a play upon the name of the Norman baron, Sweyn de Essex, whose descendants intermarried with the Mandevilles, Earls of Essex.3 Following the demise of William de Mandeville at the end of the thirteenth century the honour of Essex devolved upon the family of Bohun, Earls of Hereford and hereditary Lords High Constables of England, who came to use the white swan (with open or closed wings) as their household badge. Thereafter, deployment of the swan in English heraldry harks back to the Bohuns.‘ During the fifteenth century, however, the name De Bohun became extinct and the cognizance of the swan passed into other hands. The co—heiresses of the Bohun line were Alainor, wife of Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, and her sister Mary (died

This Development Plan, the most important yet produced for our District, reflects - even anticipates - change in a way that earlier plans did not come close to doing. Yet the Council's corporate mission - to make Aylesbury Vale the best possible place for people to live and work - remains a timeless guiding principle. So comprehensive is this District Local Plan for Aylesbury Vale that it will affect the lives of people over the next seven years to 2011. There are two main themes: sustainability and accessibility. Sustainability, in its purest sense, requires us to take no more from the environment than we put back. The Council has striven to minimise consumption of natural resources by looking carefully at the demands development makes on land, air and water, and its impact on the natural and historical environment.

  • 'My Friend the Gazetier': Diplomacy and News in Seventeenth-Century
    chapter 18 ‘My Friend the Gazetier’: Diplomacy and News in Seventeenth-Century Europe Jason Peacey In February 1681, the English government was hunting for information about European newspapers. Its new envoy at The Hague, Thomas Plott, duly obliged by writing that “The printed paper of Leyden … I have never seen”, although he had heard that “such a paper had appeared”, and that “it had been suppressed”. That he knew this much reflected the fact that he had already made a point of getting to know “the French gazetier, who is my friend”, and who had previ- ously been a “pensionary” of the English ambassador, Henry Sidney. Indeed, Plott also added that “what news he has he always communicates to me in a manuscript, but when there is nothing worth writing he only supplies me with his gazettes, so that what intelligence he had, I can always furnish you with”. Plott concluded by adding that I have likewise another intelligencer here who is paid for it, that gives me twice a week what comes to his hands, whose original papers and likewise those of the French gazetier I shall hereafter send you, and when I return for England I shall settle a correspondence between you and them, that you may have a continuance of their news.1 That Plott’s first tasks upon reaching The Hague had included familiarising himself with European print culture, its gazetteers and its intelligencers is highly revealing, and the aim of this piece is explore the significance of this letter, and of the practices to which it alludes.
