| 520 | _a"The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford — Volume 2" by Horace Walpole is a collection of personal correspondence written during the mid-18th century. This volume spans letters covering significant events and social dynamics of the time, revealing Walpole's observations on both the political landscape and cultural life of his era. The letters reflect themes of governance, society, and personal anecdotes, providing insights into the intricate relations among prominent figures of the period. At the start of this volume, Walpole communicates with Sir Horace Mann from his residence, Strawberry Hill, reflecting on the recent parliamentary sessions and his reactions to the aftermath of a peace treaty. He discusses the turbulence within the government, particularly the formidable opposition led by the Prince, and shares accounts of various public festivities, such as jubilee celebrations and firework displays. Through a blend of political commentary, personal reflections, and vivid descriptions of social events, the opening letters illustrate not only the political intrigues of the time but also the culture of celebration and spectacle that characterized Walpole's social milieu.
