Excerpt from The Letters of Horace Walpole, Vol. 8 of 16: Fourth Earl of Orford; 1783 1787 I have got a note from Mr. Conway. He says he finds on his list a Mr. Alderson recommended by Lady Holder nesse but that she applied before the conclusion of the war, when he thought it would rain ensigncies that he is now left with above an hundred engagements, and that the new plan of seconding two companies (i don't understand. Military Hebrew) with their ofi'icers on all the corps will increase his difficulty of performing them. This does not look as if your friend would be served soon. However, as he bids me tell him if Mr. Alderson is the person, as I Shall tell him it is within a letter, I do not despair. I write a line to Mr. Alderson to desire he will call on me 1n town on Friday and this I send to London, by a gentleman who dines with me, to Lord Harcourt, who will deliver it to you on the Birthday.

Excerpt from The Letters of Horace Walpole, Vol. 4 of 16: Fourth Earl of Orford; Chronologically Arranged and Edited With Notes and Indices Now are you mortally angry with me for trifling with you, and not telling you at once the particulars Of this almost-revolution. You may be-angry, but I shall take my own time, and shall give myself what airs I please both to you, my Lord Ambassador, and to you, my Lord Secretary of State, who will, I suppose, open this letter-ii you have courage enough left. In the first place, I assume all the impertinence of a prophet - ay, of that great curiosity, a prophet, who really prophesied before the event, and whose predictions have been accomplished. Have I, or have I not, announced to you the unexpected blows that would be given to the administration - come, I will lay aside my dignity, and satisfy your impatience. There's moderation.

Book Description
Drawing together landscape, architecture and literature, Strawberry Hill, the celebrated eighteenth-century ’Gothic’ villa and garden beside the River Thames, is an autobiographical site, where we can read the story of its creator, Horace Walpole. This 'man of taste' created private resonances, pleasure and entertainment - a collusion of the historic, the visual and the sensory. Above all, it expresses the inseparable integration of house and setting, and of the architecture with the collection, all specific to one individual, a unity that is relevant today to all architects, landscape designers and garden and country house enthusiasts. Avoiding the straightforward architectural description of previous texts, this beautifully illustrated book reveals the Gothic villa and associated landscape to be inspired by theories that stimulate 'The Pleasures of the Imagination' articulated in the series of essays by Joseph Addison (1672-1719) published in the Spectator (1712). Linked to this argument, it proposes that the concepts behind the designs for Strawberry Hill are not based around architectural precedent but around eighteenth-century aesthetics theories, antiquarianism and matters of 'Taste'. Using architectural quotations from Gothic tombs, Walpole expresses the mythical idea that it was based on monastic foundations with visual links to significant historical figures and events in English history. The book explains for the first time the reasons for its creation, which have never been adequately explored or fully understood in previous publications. The book develops an argument that Walpole was the first to define theories on Gothic architecture in his Anecdotes of Painting (1762-71). Similarly innovative, The History of the Modern Taste in Gardening (1780) is one of the first to attempt a history and theory of gardening. The research uniquely evaluates how these theories found expression at Strawberry Hill. This reassessment of the villa and its associated l
