AUGUSTUS GRANVILLE STAPLETON
Handwritten and signed letter stating that Stapleton was sending a copy of Prime Minister George Canning's speech on "the Cath'c Question"
Autograph Letter Signed "AGStapleton" in brown ink. 7x8½ letter mounted on mounting paper. In full: "Sir, I herewith send you a corrected report of Mr. Canning's speech - it is only this minute finished as it was wholy out of Mr. Canning's power to do it before. Have you any more copies of Mr Canning's speech on the Cath'c Question? If you have, will you let me have a few-. I am sir yr obet servt". "The Cath'c Question" here is probably emancipation of Catholics from discrimination in Britain and Ireland, an issue which came to a head during the premiership of George Canning in 1827. Sir Robert Peel, an able anti-Catholic parliamentarian and founder of the Conservative party, resigned from Parliament over this issue. Stapleton (1800-1880) was the private secretary for Foreign secretary George Canning until 1827 in which Canning became the Prime Minister. After the short lived term as Prime Minister Canning passed away and Stapleton went on to compile a biography per Canning. Toned with foxing throughout. Mounting residue can be seen at edges. Lightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
