ABSTRACT

Immediately after my arrival in England, I repaired to this place, at that time the residence of Robert earl Danvers, my cousin, who died here somewhat less than a year ago. He was about fifteen years my senior. As being the representative of the elder branch of the family, it seemed due to him that I should in person give him some account of recent events, previously to my passing over to Ireland, to take investiture of my honours, and possession of the / estates, in that country. He was gratified with this mark of attention.
