This correspondence chronicles Walpole's observations, experiences, and commentary on various subjects, ranging from personal anecdotes and insights on societal manners to reflections on political events and cultural phenomena of his time. The opening of this collection reveals Walpole's vibrant personality and his keen engagement with contemporary society. In his letters to friends, he shares thoughts on the marriage of the Princess of Wales, reminisces about his education at Eton, and expresses a desire to travel, all while weaving in humorous observations about English and French manners. He discusses theatrical experiences in Paris, reflects on the splendor of Versailles, and provides a lively account of daily life, highlighting both the grandeur and the absurdity he encounters, thereby setting the tone for what promises to be an insightful and entertaining read through his epistolary exchanges.
