Excerpt from Supplement to the Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford, Vol. 1 of 2: Chronologically Arranged and Edited With Notes and Indices; 1725-1783 A certain number of new letters having come to hand since the publication of the last instalment (1905) of the late Mrs. Paget Toynbee's edition of the Letters of Horace Walpole, the present Editor two years ago (in 1913) instituted fresh inquiries, public and private, for Walpole letters, with a View to the publication of a Supplement. Thanks to the good offices of numerous friends and correspondents in this country and in America, these inquiries met with unexpected success. The present Supplement contains 258 letters (or parts of letters). Of these, 110 are now printed for the first time; twenty-three are now first printed in full; and 125 are reprinted from various sources, some of which have only recently become available.
