About This Item
This American historian and diplomat is largely remembered for his 1856 3-volume "History of the Dutch Republic," one of the most lauded of mid-19th century histories. ALS, 2pp (lettersheet), 4½" X 7", Grove Farm, Leatherhead (Surrey, U.K.), 8 September 1867. Addressed to Lord Beauchamp (Frederick Lygon, 6th Earl Beauchamp, 1830-91). Near fine. Boldly penned in brown ink on imprinted letterhead, Motley -- who had recently resigned his position as U.S. minister to Austria (in which capacity he helped keep Europe from supporting the Confederacy during the Civil War) -- writes while touring England to arrange a visit with this British Conservative politician. A superb example.
