Excerpt from Private and Original Correspondence of Charles Talbot, Duke of Shrewsbury, With King William, the Leaders of the Whig Party, and Other Distinguished Statesmen: Illustrated With Narratives, Historical and Biographical; From the Family Papers in the Possession of Her Grace the Duchess of Buccleugh, Never Before Published

No apology, therefore, can be deemed necessary, for presenting to the reader the Correspondence of the Duke of Shrewsbury, who was a principal actor in the Revolution, who possessed the full confidence of king William, and held the office of Secretary of State during the greater part of his reign. The value of these papers will be more highly estimated, when it is considered, that they are not mere official documents, but' private correspondence, never intended for the public eye.
