Summary

"The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford — Volume 3" by Horace Walpole is a series of personal letters that offers a peek into the world of an 18th-century aristocrat. The letters, penned between 1759 and 1769, capture Walpole's thoughts on everything from British politics and military wins to the happenings in his social circles. He shares his sharp takes on important figures like George Montagu and William Pitt, and events like the political problems in Ireland and public resignations of important figures.
