Publisher's Synopsis

The Letters of the Duke of Wellington to Miss J., 1834-1851 is a collection of personal correspondence between Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, and a woman referred to only as Miss J. The letters span a period of 17 years, from 1834 to 1851, and provide a glimpse into the private life of one of the most famous military commanders in British history.The letters cover a wide range of topics, from politics and military affairs to personal matters and social events. They offer insight into the Duke's thoughts and opinions on a variety of issues, including his views on the Catholic Church, the Reform Act of 1832, and the Crimean War.The book also sheds light on the Duke's personal relationships and his interactions with members of the aristocracy and other notable figures of the time. Miss J. remains something of a mystery, and little is known about her identity or her relationship with the Duke.First published in 1889, The Letters of the Duke of Wellington to Miss J. is a fascinating historical document that provides a unique perspective on the life and times of one of Britain's most celebrated military leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
