Nugent-Glover correspondence
Manuscripts
Correspondence, Poem and Ephemera (1 Box) is arranged chronologically. A majority of the correspondence consists of letters from George Nugent Grenville, 2nd Baron Nugent, to his former tutor, George Glover; the letters cover the years 1804-1840. There is also a small number of letters from other correspondents, including Mary Anne Nugent Temple Grenville; George Nugent Temple Grenville, Marquess of Buckingham; Mary Elizabeth Nugent Temple Grenville, Marchioness of Buckingham; Thomas Winfield and Frodsham Hodson, both of Brasenose College, Oxford; William Wyndham Grenville, Baron Grenville; and a draft letter from George Glover to "My Lord" concerning a Latin inscription composed by Henry Bathurst, Bishop of Norwich. Also included is a poem written by George Nugent Grenville, 2nd Baron Nugent, entitled "The Death of Nelson" (1805, Nov. 23), and three pieces of ephemera: a printed sketch of a dog and two letter covers with wax seals. The letters in the collection are written from, among other locations, Brasenose College, Oxford, London, the House of Commons, Pall Mall, Stowe, The Lilies (Grenville's Buckinghamshire home), and Corfu (Greece). After tutoring Grenville at Stowe, Glover became his close friend and the correspondence covers much of Grenville's political, literary and personal life. The main thrust of the letters is the reforming principles that Grenville and Glover shared and their relations with other like-minded people including the Duke of Sussex (often mentioned in the letters). Advancement and patronage, both social and political, are frequent subjects in the letters, whether it is for Grenville himself, Glover or Glover's son (also named George); among other subjects treated include the position of Roman Catholics, dueling, Freemasonry, the scandals of the Regency, and the ongoing war with Napoleon.
