EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that holds immense significance in the realm of politics and personal reputation. The image captures a letter written by Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke, to George Clarke on the 27th of June in 1715. The letter was penned from Belle Vue near Lyons and reveals Bolingbroke's reasons for not remaining in Paris during that time. In this remarkable piece of correspondence, Bolingbroke expresses his reliance on the good opinion of his friends and emphasizes his innocence regarding certain matters. He also announces his intention to await the report of the Secret Committee, which ultimately led to his impeachment and attainder on August 18th. The photograph beautifully portrays the intricate details present in this handwritten manuscript, showcasing both its color and handwriting style from the eighteenth century. It provides us with an intimate glimpse into a critical moment in history when political alliances were tested, reputations were at stake, and innocence was fervently defended. As we delve into this visual representation of an important chapter in British politics, we are reminded of Bolingbroke's role as a statesman and key figure within Jacobite circles. This facsimile serves as a testament to both his influence during that era and our ongoing fascination with historical documents that shape our understanding of past events.
