Curious Political Anecdote From the London Museum
The London Museum notes reveal Lord Bute’s visit last autumn and the public reason for his arrival. Ministers sought to replace Lord Townshend as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with the Duke of Bedford proposing Lord Sandwich. The Duke of Granville opposed, seeking Harcourt, but Bute advised neither. He affirmed Townshend, and then retreated to the Continent, asserting his authority. Also announced are elegant heads of the kings of Scotland from Hoyrood House and a general history of Scotland being published by Robinson and Roberts with maps and plates, urging subscribers to complete their sets before February.
