![634 Carlisle (Henry Howard, Earl of) Autograph Note to the Hon. Bryan Fairfax, requesting his company to meet Sir And. Fountain, &c. 8s. 6d. - Thursday, (1740) GS5 Carlisle (Frederick Howard, Earl of) Biographical Sketch of the Life of this talented Nobleman, written for the Monthly Mirror, thirteen pages, 10s. 6d. - - 1800 636 Carlisle (Dr. Alexander) long Autograph Letter of six folio pages, addressed to the Rev. Tho. Hepburn, Author of Ma- gopico, 15s. - - Muss. Sept. 5, 1763 *,* Full of gossip on passing events—‘ Robertson has managed with great ad- dress. He is principal, chaplain, minister, historiographer, and historian; that is to say, he has 50/. a year, and a house certain, besides what he can make by his books. It was taken for granted that he was to resign his charge, on being appointed historiographer with 200/. salary, but that he will do at his leisure. It is also supposed, by his patrons, that he is to write the History of Britain in ten volumes, quarto. That also I presume (dreadful task) he will execute at his leisure. ‘ Honest David Home [Hume] with the heart of all others that rejoices most at the prosperity of his friends, was certainly a little hurt with this last honour conferred on Robertson. A lucky accident has given him relief. The Earl of Hertford is appointed Embassador to France; not very capable himself, they have loaded him with an insignificant secretary, one Charles Bunbury, who, for the sake of pleasure, more than the thousand a year, solicited for the office. Hertford knew David, and some good genius prompted to ask him to go along and manage the business. It is an honourable character—he will see his friends in France, if he tires he can return when he pleases. Bunbury will probably tire first, and then David will become secretary !’ 637 Carlisle.—'Autograph Letter of Sir Nicholas Carlisle, Author of the Topographical Dictionaries, &c. to Dr. Dibdin, 2s. 6d.
