Letters of Horace Walpole, Volume 1 is a collection of personal letters written by Horace Walpole, an 18th-century British writer, politician, and art historian. The book includes letters written by Walpole to his family and friends, as well as letters he received from other notable figures of the time, such as William Pitt the Elder and Sir Horace Mann. These letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the social and political world of 18th-century Britain, covering topics such as fashion, literature, politics, and art. The letters are arranged chronologically, beginning with Walpole’s early years and ending with his correspondence in the late 1750s. This volume is part of a larger collection of Walpole’s letters, which are considered an important historical and literary resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.Well, West, I have found a little unmasqued moment to write to you; but for this week past I have been so muffled up in my domino, that I have not had the command of my elbows. But what have you been doing all the mornings? Could you not write then?--No, then I was masqued too; I have done nothing but slip out of my domino into bed, and out of bed into my domino. The end of the Carnival is frantic, bacchanalian; all the morn one makes parties in masque to the shops and coffee-houses, and all the evening to the operas and balls. Then I have danced, good gods! how have I danced!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
