Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Babbage – 28 Aug 1835
Paris. Aug. 28
My dear Sir,
Can we flatter ourselves that we have prepared anything for our approaching <number> on the 1st. of October? We shall be in England on Wednesday next, when <Young> will <instantly> call on you.
I have nothing <to say in favour> of the Parisian spirit of liberty at the moment. But their coolness and almost cowardice in submitting to doctrinaire tyranny is difficult to be reconciled with their rapidity of <indignatio

Sir,
I have here so much received since my <…..> that I have omitted <telling you> that Mr Clerk (<….

From Crawhalls estimate I conclude that the House may be estimated at about 1500, and the remainder at 500. Under all the circumstances I suppose we must close with Clark if we cannot <........> his demand for the House, <sit

Scarbro’ Sepr. 4th 36
Dear Sir
I have seen Mr Beaumont and he says he is quite certain that Tom Ridley said he had purchased a Poney and asked if he might put it for a time into the Park at Bywell and that he Mr Bt thought he had purchased it of some of the Lead Ore carriers and that Ridley thought he would be able to make a £5 Note of his Bargain by letting it run a few weeks at Bywell. Mr Bt. says he cannot have the Game at Bywell protected upon so expensive a scale. Rodd

Dublin, January 20, 1837
Sir
Being on the eve of quitting Ireland on my return to England, I feel anxious, when my conduct cannot be open to misconstruction, to make every reparation in human power for any injury which I have inflicted upon anyone whose hospitality and kindness I have experienced. It is to you alone that any reparation is due; and it is extraordinary, that before my arrival in your country I have always considered myself as the most attached of your friends. Have the kindne

Letter – John Somers to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 2 Nov 1838
To Thomas Wentworth Beaumont Esq. Long’s Hotel, Nov 2, 1838
Sir,
I have just been informed by Mr. Dillon Browne, who communicated with you on my part, that you have refused to retract expression used in a letter to Mr. White, and reflecting upon me, and declared that I am unworthy of having further intercourse held with me. I therefore intend to seek a personal interview with you, when I may have an opportunity of convincing you that you were in error; but before I do so, I think i

Sunday Morning, Half-past Seven o’Clock.
My Dear Sir,
I write in the most perfect good humour to express a hope, for Somers’s sake, that he will be satisfied with the offer I have made of being on the same terms with him as before. I have no vindictiveness in my nature, and desire in my heart only the welfare of all, be they who they may. Should he seek to annoy me he may rest assured that the punishment of every effort will be upon his head, and his alone. He does me an injustic

INDICTMENT OF SUMMARY JURISDICTION Of M. THOMAS WENTWORTH-BEAUMONT against M. SOMERS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Preliminary Reflections
It is rare that such a deep interest becomes attached to a case which has not been tried contradictorily. The proceedings between M. Beaumont, petitioner, and M. Somers, defaulter, have however created such a very vivid impression on public opinion that we have considered it a duty to record them.
The example given by M. Beaumont is such tha

MR. SOMERS AND MR. BEAUMONT.
To THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir-
On the 24th of January, 1824, Mr. T. W. Beaumont, in an address to the ‘Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Northumberland,’ stated that lie found reports concerning him had gained credit which rendered him unfit for acting as their representative. He adds, ‘ I must, therefore, decline any further attendance in the House of Commons until I am able to repel the infamous allega

To the Editor of the Sligo Champion. Feuillade’s Hotel, Dec 15, 1838
Sir,
I beg to call the attention of the public to the circumstances connected with the late misunderstanding between Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Sanders, and to submit the following statement, which is supported by facts of which I am either myself cognizant or which are established by documentary evidence in my possession.

Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 18 Dec 1838
To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle
Sir,
I have seen in your paper of the 15th Inst. a letter from Mr.Somers, to which I shall make a brief reply. In commenting on my conduct in the year 1823 towards Lord Grey, it is attempted in that letter to throw obloquy or ridicule upon me, for my belief in a ‘supernatural influence’. I distinctly acknowledge the JUSTICE OF THAT IMPUTATION.
Respecting the other charges they are false, and shall be proved so, at my leisure.
I am, sir, yo

TO THE EDITOR OF GALIGNANI'S MESSENGER. Sir Mr. Beaumont being on the point of leaving Paris, has requested me to transmit to you the accompanying letter from him, in answer to that which Mr. Somers has sent to several of the London newspapers, and which you published this morning. Permit me, sir, to take advantage on this occasion to repel the unjust attack which Mr. Somers has thought fit to make in his letter against
report – Martin Lynch – 10 May 1839
The fourth meeting of the Popular Lecture and Musical Entertainment Society, was held on Saturday evening last. The musical part of the entertainment gave great satisfaction. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Lynch, ‘on the prevention of those diseases to which artizans in lead are subject.’ The lecturer introduced his subject by shewing the difference that exists between the agricultural labourer, enjoying the pure air of heaven during his labour, and the artizans in towns, working in co

Dear Sir
I am sorry to hear your Rookhope Road Meeting has ended so unsatisfactorily and so very different to what we had a right to expect. I must now request you to take prompt and efficient steps by endictment to compel the Parties liable to make the Road.
I shall be at Allenheads on Wednesday come and would like to see you if you can come conveniently ride over and stop all night.

As the Stanhope Township had done a great deal and wish to complete the New Road to Shorngate as soon as possible and think by continuing the Work during the Winter whenever the Weather permits the ultimate cost will be less than by contracts and be in Spring <season> when Work is more plentiful.

There is a better foundation for an Englishman’s Education than History, which is to learn how to apply to all subjects strong common sense & liberal feeling. History often invokes much Prejudice. I believe, after all, that the best Basis of a Gentlem

My dear Wenty,
Don’t you expect too much from the young Republic in supposing it possible that they shd wish to place their affairs in steady & tried hands? We know all their steady & tried hands, & I shd be sorry to see Theirs trusted by them. O Barrot they will have nothing to say to for he desired to substitute the Dk of Orleans & the young <Cte> de Paris!

My dear Wenty,
I am delighted with your plan & very readily give my approbation to it. I hope you will visit the Hebrides, Fingals cave & I remember well crossing Ben Lomond on foot & sleeping that night at a small Inn near the Trossachs. Your Uncle William had a tall Highlander for a Bedfellow & much distressed he was with his companion. Bird & I shared the same bed. But the Fleas annoyed me more than my companion. We had a fine View & a beautiful day. We crossed the
