Excerpt from Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, to Sir Horace Mann, British Envoy at the Court of Tuscany, Vol. 1 of 2 It is from these volumes that the present publication is taken. The notes of the Author have also been printed ver batim. As, however, in the period of time which has elapsed since Walpole's death, many of the personages mentioned in the letters, whom he appears to have thought sufficiently conspicuous not to need remark, have become almost forgot ten, the Editor has deemed it necessary to add, as shortly as possible, some account of them and he has taken care, whenever he has done so, to distinguish his notes from those of the original author, by the letter D.
