This book is an enthralling chronicle of the remarkable lives and friendships of Mary and Agnes Berry, two sisters who moved in the upper echelons of 18th-century British society, interacting with some of the foremost intellectual and artistic figures of their day. The author draws upon a rich trove of previously unpublished letters and journals to provide an intimate account of the sisters' travels, loves, and literary pursuits, set against the backdrop of a Europe on the cusp of dramatic change.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of correspondence between Mary Berry and Agnes Berry, two sisters who were prominent figures in British society during the late 18th century. The letters offer a unique insight into the lives of these two women, as well as the social and political landscape of their time. The sisters were friends with many of the leading literary and political figures of the day, including Horace Walpole, David Garrick, and Edmund Burke. Their letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural life of London during this period. They also discuss their own personal lives, including their travels, their relationships with family and friends, and their thoughts on marriage and education. One of the most interesting aspects of the letters is the way in which they reflect the changing role of women in society. The Berry sisters were both well-educated and independent-minded women, and their letters challenge the traditional view of women as being passive and subservient. They were actively involved in the intellectual and social life of their time, and their letters provide a valuable record of the ways in which women were beginning to assert their independence. This book is a fascinating and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of women, the 18th century, or the art of letter-writing. It offers a unique glimpse into the lives of two remarkable women and provides a valuable record of their thoughts and experiences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

See Mary Berry's entry in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. 1p, 16mo. Neatly written in his distinctive close hand: 'M.

See 2pp, 16mo. On first leaf of a bifolium, with the reverse of second leaf addressed 'To the / Lady Georgiana Ellis / Spring Garden [sic]', and with torn corner of second leaf beneath red wax seal. Folded twice for postage. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. 'I have a thousand apologies to make for not having already said that my sister & I should have much pleasure in dining with you on the 19th. The truth is, that she thought I had done it & I thought she had - We are ashamed of ourselves'. The second part of the letter is difficult to decipher. There is a reference to Lady Georgiana's 'mama' the Duchess of Devonshire'. Signed, with stylized signature, 'Yrs always very affectly / M Berry'.

2pp., 12mo. 30 lines. Good, on lightly-aged paper. She begins by explaining that it was 'by an entire mistake' that Mrs Lamb's money (presumably the rent for Devonshire Lodge, owned by Mrs Lamb) was not paid, and that the mistake is 'now cleared up, & the money is to be paid this very morning by Coutt's into your Banker's'. Her sister Mary is not able to pass on this information herself, as 'she has been for above a fortnight so very unwell as not to be able to write, or occupy herself in any way - a severe fit of & Influenza has confined her, & kept me in great agony about her'. Agnes 'does not yet see any steady steps towards amendment' in her sister's health, 'one day a little better, & the next a little worse, is all the changes I have yet seen - but I go on trying to hope that a few better days may still be allowed us'. The sisters are expecting Lady Scott in town the following day, accompanied by her friend Miss Murray, who is 'just arrived in London with her two nieces, one of whom with a very serious ill, comes for medical advice'. She ends by asking Mrs Lamb to inform her when she returns to Richmond. Richard Crisp's 'Richmond and its Inhabitants from the Olden Time' (1866) refers to Mary's severe illness of 1844, and quotes Mary in the following year stating that she is 'once again in Mrs. Lamb's house'.

1p., 12mo. 12 lines. Good on lightly-aged paper. She is requesting 'an alteration to be made in the Contents of Chapr 9. to the necessity of which I had not adverted till I saw that Chapr. in Print'. After correcting the chapter she 'desired a Revise', but 'foolishly forgot to Revise the Contents of the Chapr.' 'It cannot however be too late & must be done, as the Chapr: ends with Mr Fox'. The work referred to is clearly Miss Berry's 'Comparative View', published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green in 1828, the ninth and last chapter of which does indeed end with Charles James Fox.

4pp., 12mo. 75 lines. On bifolium. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. The entire document is in Mary Berry's autograph. The letter proper, of 57 lines, is signed 'Devonshire Cottage / a true Copy / M Berry', the joke, such as it is, being that Mary Berry has copied out a document written by Devonshire Cottage itself to its owner, the Hon. Mrs George Lamb (Caroline, or 'Caro George' Lamb, from whom the Berry sister's were leasing it). An eighteen-line postscript, dated 'Monday 1st July', and also signed 'M Berry', is written in a straightforward style, with the valediction reading 'And so God bless'. The first sixteen lines read: 'This is to inform her [i.e. Mrs Lamb], that at this present writing I [i.e. Devonshire Cottage] am in great health & beauty, that I am taken especial care of by your two Lieutenants [i.e. the Berry sisters], & that I am very much admired by all their friends & acquaintance, who have poured in upon me in numbers during the last six weeks - They have constantly occupied me, in the way that you recommended, making the4 dining Room what it was intended to be, which your Tenants, as well as every body else, find so much more agreeable & convenient, that they only wonder it could ever have been otherwise arranged -'. The rest of the letter includes references to the refurbishment of the house, to General Piggott, to Lord Morpeth and Lady Mary, and to Lady Scott, with the Cottage 'begging you to present my Villaships respects to the Palacehood of Castle Howard'.
