Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Literary and Historical, Vol. 2 of 2
IT is at last possible, by piecing together the letters in the possession of Captain Ernest Prety man, m.p., and Mr. Dickinson, Mayor of Bath and m.p. For Wells, to present the correspondence between Mr. Pitt and Lord Auckland with refer ence to Miss Eden; and this, by their kindness, I am now enabled to do. Mr. Dickinson, it may be mentioned, is the great-nephew of the Miss Eden in question, who afterwards became Lady Buckinghamshire. Parts of these papers have already been published by Lord Ashbourne, who had not, however, access to all the letters. And in any case there would be no need for reticence, for the episode is as historical as any affair of the kind, while it derives a peculiar interest from Pitt's persistent celibacy, as well as from the obscurity that overhangs his motives; for he gives no definite reason for his action.
