The Life of Thomas Coutts, Banker, Vol. 1 of 2: With Numerous Illustrations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Coutts, Banker, Vol. 1 of 2: With Numerous Illustrations

I am greatly indebted to His Grace the Duke of Devon shire, who contributed to this work several letters from Thomas Coutts to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and permitted me to print for the first time a letter of great importance which is addressed by the Duchess to her son, Lord Hartington, afterwards sixth Duke of Devonshire.

I have to express my thanks to the Dowager Countess of Stanhope, the Marquis of Bristol, the Earl of Buchan, and Lord Erskine, for the use of hitherto unpublished material.

To Lord North my especial thanks are due for the right to include in these volumes photogravures of family portraits in his possession at Wroxton Abbey.
