Scope and content
Letters from Sir George Cornewall Lewis, statesman, of Harpton Court, co. Radnor, to W. E. Gladstone (78) 1841-1863, and to Frederick Calvert (6) 1855-1860, together with three letters, 1863-1864, from Gladstone to Lady Lewis, a letter, 1863, from him to Sir George's brother, Sir Gilbert Frankland Lewis, and a letter, 1863, from Calvert to Lady Lewis. The letters to Gladstone largely concern matters arising during the writer's tenure of office as chancellor of the exchequer, 1855-1858, as home secretary, 1859-1861, and as secretary for war, 1861-1863. Some of them also reflect the literary and scholarly interests shared by Gladstone and Lewis.
