Excerpt from Private Correspondence of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, Vol. 2 of 4: Now First Collected; 1756 1764 I always dedicate my travels to you. My prea sent expedition has been very amusing: sights are thick sown in the counties of York and Notting. Ham: the former is more historic, and the great lords live at a prouder distance: in Nottingham shire there is a very heptarchy of little kingdoms elbowing one another, and the baroi'is of thein want nothing but small armies to make inroads into one another's parks, murder deer, and mas sacre park-keepers. - But to come to particulars:, The great road as far as Stamford is superb: in any other country it would furnish medals, and immortalize any drowsy monarch in whose reign it was executed. It is continued much farther, but is more rumbling. I did not st0p at Hatfield and vol. II. B. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
