Excerpt from Correspondence of the Family of Hatton, Vol. 1: Being Chiefly Letters Addressed to Christopher First Viscount Hatton, A. D. 1601-1704 The letters before us may be taken as a fair sample of the cor respondence of a family of the higher classes in the seventeenth century. The selection has been made chie y with the view of giving such letters as contained matter of historical or social interest. It is true that many of them may be called simply news letters; but, as such, they are of value as showing the impression that passing events made upon the mind of the writers, as well as the style Of news and town gossip that was acceptable to those who were living in the country. Perhaps there is nothing very new of historical matter to be found in these pages, but it is interesting to watch the daily records of events and the way in which the different writers tell their story. Of the two principal news-men, Charles Hatton writes with some humour, and, after William's accession, with a certain Jacobite zest for fault-finding; Lyttelton, in a blunt straightforward way Of his own. It should not however be un noticed that Charles Hatton's connection with Scroggs put it in his power to hand down to us a few facts of political interest. Nor are Nottingham's letters, written at the crisis of the Revolution by one who had so large a share in the settlement, without a special value. At the risk of here and there printing a dull page, I have not thought it improper to include letters which contained perhaps only a single peculiar phrase or word, or even an ingenious mis spelling; for Of such small things is the history Of social manners made.
