George Selwyn was known as the first humorist of his age, but few of his own letters were known until a cache surfaced among family papers reported by the Historical Manuscripts Commission. This edition sets them in a connected life, with gossip of London society and politics, the disasters in America in 1781, the fall of Lord North and the closing years of the century.
