They contain nuggets about the garden and house at Stourhead and permit glimpses of Henry the banker and businessman in his wranglings with the Sardinian envoy and Duke of Northumberland. Soppiness seeps into the later letters, cut by quips and quotations. Henry's respect for Lord Bruce throbs unremittingly and was merited by the character of that dull, upright-living, courtier to George III. The letters are accompanied by brief biographies and a gazetteer of the people and places met along the way"--Publisher's website. 600 30 $a Hoar family. 600 10 $a Hoare, Henry, $d 1705-1785. 600 10 $a Hoare, Henry, $d 1705-1785 $v Correspondence. 600 30 $a Hoar family $v Correspondence. 651 0 $a Wiltshire (England) $x History $v Sources. 651 0 $a Wiltshire (England) $x Genealogy. 610 20 $a Stourhead (England) 700 1 $a Woodbridge, Kenneth. 773 18 $w 990008564820202771 $g no:31858069613853 830 0 $a Wiltshire Record Society (Series) ; $v v. 71. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122021459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7395CCFE462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
