Excerpt from Supplement to the Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Oxford, Together With Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Letters Addressed to Walpole Between 1735 and 1796, Vol. 3: 1744-1797
The present volume contains 101 letters (or parts of letters) of Horace Walpole which have been gleaned from various sources since the publication of the previous volumes of the Supplement, making a total to date of letters, of which 767 have been added (by the late Mrs. Paget Toynbee and the present Editor) to the number printed in Cunningham's last edition.
Together with these 101 new letters of Walpole are now printed upwards of 150 letters addressed to him, the majority of which were preserved in a series of letter books in the Waller Collection' at Woodcote, Warwick, marked by Walpole 'for illustration', evidently, as was mentioned in the preface to the first volume of the Supplement, with a view to their eventual utilization in the annotation of his own letters.
