The
Fairfax Correspondence.—Memoirs of the Reign of Charles I. Ed.
George W. Johnson, Esq, Barrister-at-Law. 2 vols. Although
the correspondence of Thomas Fairfax, 3
rd Lord Fairfax, is not in this publication, it is expected
in a later volume. Much of the correspondence comes from a cache of
papers once in the possession of a shoe-maker in Maidstone.
The London Literary Gazette of
1831 mentions that this cache was later bought by J. N.
Hughes of that town. If it was in his possession in
1827, WG may have read that material. Result of
