Description
Excerpt from The Letters and Works of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Vol. 1 of 2
Of other portions of Lady Mary''s writings, not derived from the Wortley manuscripts, some account is required. The letters to Mrs. Hewet were appended by Mr. Dallaway to his fifth edition of 1805, from a source explained in the note to the first letter of the series. The letters to the Countess of Oxford, though not alluded to in Lord Wham cliffe''s Preface among the novelties in his edition, were I believe published by him from the originals for the first time as were also the letters to Lady Pomfret and to Sir James and Lady Steuart, to which his Lordship alluded in the following passage.
