Perhaps no name of modern times is productive of so many pleasant
associations as that of Horace Walpole, and certainly no name was ever more
intimately connected with so many different subjects of importance in
connection with literature, art, fashion, and politics. The position of
various members of his family connecting Horace Walpole with the cabinet,
the court, and the legislature, his own intercourse with those characters
who became remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities, and
his reputation as a wit, a scholar, and a virtuoso, cannot fail, it is
hoped, to render his memoirs equally amusing and instructive.
