HORACE WALPOLE, letter to Lady Ossory, Aug. 16, 1776 Defaced ruins of architecture and statuary, like the wrinkles of decrepitude of a once beautiful woman, only make one regret that one did not see them when they were enchanting. HORACE WALPOLE, Horace Walpole's Miscellany What is called chance is the instrument of Providence and the secret agent that counteracts what men call wisdom, and preserves order and regularity, and continuation in the whole, for ... I firmly believe, notwithstanding all our complaints, that almost every person upon earth tastes upon the totality more happiness than misery; and therefore if we could correct the world to our fancies, and with the best intentions imaginable, probably we should only produce more misery and confusion. HORACE WALPOLE, letter, Jan. 19, 1777 By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense. HORACE WALPOLE

Two spine labels missing, bindings slightly worn at joints of spine and at corners, and some occasional internal offsetting or browning. First editions of the three volumes of Anecdotes and of the companion Catalogue of Engravers printed for Horace Walpole at his private press at Strawberry Hill in 1762-3 (a further volume of Anecdotes was printed in 1771, but not distributed until 1780). In these volumes Horace Walpole reproduced from the surviving notebooks of the engraver and antiquary George Vertue as much as possible of the information that Vertue had collected about English painters, sculptors, engravings and architects of the past. Although most of the actual text of Vertue's notebooks has now long been available in an edition published by the Walpole Society, the set of Anecdotes volumes still remains necessary reading, for Walpole's interpretations of Vertue's sometimes cryptic notebook entries were to exercise a profound influence on subsequent British art history.

He received his education at Cambridge, and following his graduation he spent several years in travel. In 1741 he entered Parliament. His first publication was A Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, which was followed in 1764 by The Castle of Otranto, a romance abounding in mystery, which was at the time of its publication very popular. Walpole is, however, chiefly remembered for his Letters, which give entertaining pictures of the society of his day. While in general these pictures are true to life, they are of little value to accurate historians, on account of their untruthfulness. Many editions of these letters have been published.

Young Horace spent most of his childhood under the loving eye of his mother whilst his father was away much of the time on business and often with his mistress Maria Skerrett, who he would later marry. Walpole was tutored at home before entering Eton College in 1727, and then on to King's College, Cambridge in March 1735. Lady Walpole died in 1737, much to the distress of her son, possibly leading to his departure in 1738 from Cambridge before finishing his degree. He embarked on the Grand Tour of the continent with his friend whom he had met at Eton, poet Thomas Gray (1716-1771), though they would prove to be incompatible travel companions. Immersing themselves in the social life, they went to Paris and Rheims then on to Florence and Tuscany. It was there that he met the British minister to the court of Tuscany, Horace Mann, with whom he became great friends, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu of whom he would write about sardonically later. Walpole quarrelled with Gray and they parted ways in 1741. It is likely that Walpole was homosexual and preferred the non-committal company of older women.

From Eton he went to KingVcollege, Cambridge ; but, according to the practice of men of rank and fortune at that time, left the university without taking any degree. While there he wrote “ Verses in Memory of King Henry the Sixth, founder of the college, ” which are dated Feb. 2, 1738, and are probably the first production of his pen. In the same year he was appointed inspector-general of Coxe’s Memoirs of Walpole. Park’s edition of the Royal and Nobje Authors, the exports and imports; a place which he soon after exchanged for that of usher of the exchequer. To these were added the post of comptroller of the pipe and clerk of the estreats; all which he held unto his death.

STRAWBERRY HILL ST. MARY'S COLLEGE, WALDERGRAVE ROAD STRAWBERRY HILL, TW1 4SX Telephone 0871 560 9489 Car Hire Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham is Britain's finest example of Georgian Gothic architecture and interior decoration. It began life in 1698 as a modest house, built by the coachman of the Earl of Bradford. It was transformed into 'a little Gothic castle' by Horace Walpole, man of letters and son of England's first Prime Minister. Between 1747 and 1792 Walpole doubled its size, creating Gothic rooms and adding towers and battlements in fulfilment of his dream. Futher additions were made by the Countess Waldegrave. This gothic masterpiece is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian Gothic architecture and interior decoration. The building, which gets its name from the local area, started out as a modest house but was transformed by Horace Walpole. He doubled its size, adding towers and battlements, and filled it with treasures that reflected his social position in high society. Walpole was obsessed by fashion, style and architecture. After purchasing Strawberry Hill, he was able to play out these fascinations by taking the property from a 5-acre plot to 46 acres, and setting up his "The Committee of Taste" to transform the house.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Walpole, Horace, 4TH EARL OF ORFORD, original name HORATIO WALPOLE (b. Sept. 24, 1717, Londond. March 2, 1797), English writer, connoisseur, and collector who was famous in his day for his medieval horror tale The Castle of Otranto , which initiated the vogue for Gothic romances. He is remembered today as perhaps the most assiduous letter writer in the English language. The youngest son of the prime minister Sir Robert Walpole, he was educated at Eton and at King's College, Cambridge. In 1739 he embarked with his Eton schoolmate, the poet Thomas Gray (later to write "An Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard"), on a grand tour of France and Italy, in the midst of which they quarrelled and separated. They were later reconciled, and Walpole remained throughout his life an enthusiastic admirer of Gray's poetry. On his return to England in 1741, Walpole entered Parliament, where his career was undistinguished, although he attended debates regularly until 1768. In 1791 he inherited the peerage from a nephew, a grandson of Robert Walpole. He remained unmarried, and on his death the earldom became extinct. The most absorbing interests of his life were his friendships and a small villa that he acquired at Twickenham in 1747 and transformed into a pseudo-Gothic showplace known as Strawberry Hill. Over the years he added cloisters, turrets, and battlements, filled the interior with pictures and curios, and amassed a valuable library. He established a private press on the grounds, where he printed his own works and those of his friends, notably Gray's
