0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Miss. Eden's Letters

IN the autumn of 1 9 1 3 a Life of Lord Clarendon 1 was published, and among many of his letters were a few written to him by an old friend, Miss Eden. It was thought that a further selection of Emily Eden's letters might be of interest.
She was a keen politician of the Whig order, clever, amusing, tical, an excellent friend and a devoted sister. Er father, William Eden, ' was the third son of Sir Robert Eden, Bart., of West Auckland, Durham, and he married in 1776 Eleanor Elliot, a sister of the wt Earl of Minto/ Two years later, Eden went as a Commissioner to America. He was Chief Secretary in Ireland under Lord Carlisle; minister-plenipotentiary in 1785 to the Court of Versailles; in 1788 Ambassador to Spain, and in the following year Ambassador to Holland; he was given a peerage in 1789 . Mrs. Eden, from her own account, was evidently a first-rate traveller; she took great interest in her husband's work, and she had a child, often amidst much dis comfort, in every country to which they were sent.
