Excerpt from A Highly Important Collection of Original Holograph Manuscripts and Original Holograph Correspondences
Aberdeen (George Hamilton Gordon, 4th Earl Of), Prime Minister. His remarkably interesting Correspondence with the Right Honble. John Wilson Croker, Secretary to the Admiralty. Comprising no less than 61 Holograph Letters, Signed, and covering about 160 pages, 4to and 8vo.
Inlaid to Royal 4to size and bound in brown morocco extra.
The period covered by these important letters commences in June 1828 and terminates in the same month 1852.
These letters are relative to many important political topics, not the least interesting being the settlement of the long-vexed question of the north-eastern boundary of the United States of America.
Lord Aberdeen's (as Secretary for Foreign Affairs) conciliatory language upon this subject soon changed the character of the American negotiations, and in 1843 he was dispatched to Washington with full powers to conclude a definite treaty upon the matter.
There are also several long and important communications refuting Wraxall's insinuation that Pitt received money from Lord Abercorn (whose daughter, Lady Catherine, the Earl of Aberdeen married) for creating him a Marquis.
Included in this Correspondence are 9 copies of letters from Croker to Lord Aberdeen.
