Excerpt from Memoirs of the Administration of the Right Honourable Henry Pelham, Vol. 1 of 2: Collected From the Family Papers, and Other Authentic Documents From the large Collection of the Orford Papers, I have drawn some important information, relative to the early period of Mr. Pelham's official career, particularly to the part which he took, in public affairs, towards the close of Sir Robert Walpole's ministry. The Papers left by Lord Chancellor Hardwicke have proved a rich source of secret history, connected with the long period of the Chancellor's public life. The most valuable and curious portion of this collection comprises the confidential correspondence of his lordship, with the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Pelham, down to the year 1753.
