Hamilton Papers Addenda (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Hamilton Papers Addenda <p>The following are the greater part of the letters which I was unable to Copy, when I prepared the volume of the Hamilton Papers for the Camden Society. Most of them are to a great extent in cipher, the deciphers being enclosed in square brackets. I succeeded in deciphering these passages by the help of other ciphered letters accompanied with the deciphers in the collection of the Duke of Hamilton, which I was allowed to see some years ago with the sanction of His Grace and the kind permission of Sir W. Fraser, who at that time had charge of the papers. Only four or five of the letters forming part of Lanark's cor respondence in 1648 are omitted, as I had no clue to the cipher in which they were written. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
