More Walpole Letters.

The article focuses on the book "Supplement to the Letters of Horace Walpole," edited by Paget Toynbee. In the two admirable volumes which Toynbee now publishes as a supplement to his wife's sixteen volumes of the Correspondence of writer Horace Walpole, one finds 259 letters. In the letters themselves one is carried back to the century in which he made the Grand Tour and sent one another such leisurely presents. Elaborate and formal as the style of Walpole's letters usually is, his manner here varies greatly according to the persons whom he was addressing.
