LETTERS OF HORACE WALPOLE.

_MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES--VERY LIVELY._[1]

[Footnote 1: This letter, written before he was nineteen, is worth

noticing as a proof how innate was his liveliness of style, since in

that respect few of the productions of his maturer age surpasses it. It

also shows how strong already was his expectations that his letters

would hereafter be regarded as interesting and valuable.]
