Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Sir Uvedale Price to Sir George Beaumont, written from Foxley, Herefordshire and dated 12 February 1802
Detailed Summary:
Price discusses architectural matters before going on to discuss a visit he had recently received from Lord Tyrconnell. He then asks whether or not Beaumont followed his advice and read Montaigne’s Essays, remarking upon aspects of his writing that he believes would appeal to Beaumont and identifying passages in Voltaire’s Alzire and Rousseau’s Ode to Fortune which he believes were inspired by Montaigne. He then provides news on family and friends.
