Of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu have originally formed part of the great collection now at Montagu House, as is shown by the mounting of the papers and the binding of the volumes, and this Report may therefore be considered as an appendix to that on the Buccleuch mss. Issued by the Commissioners in 1899. The volumes at Beaulieu, however, form a small but complete collection in themselves, being numbered consecutively and their contents having evidently been selected with care, as specimens of Papers and letters on public events, Letters and autographs, and Papers on Scotch affairs. These are arranged in the manner described on p. 213 of the Buccleuch Report. There is also one volume, not uniform with the rest, of Orders, passes and commissions mostly of the reigns of Charles II. And James II., which volume also contains many miscellaneous documents, including a series of letters to Queen Elizabeth's Earl of Leicester. The papers in it are not mounted at all, but stitched into the binding. Many of the documents relating to public events, and notably those on Scotch affairs, are copies of speeches and other papers already in print, or preserved amongst the State Papers, and these it has not been thought necessary to notice, but there are two documents of considerable importance which it may be well to mention before speaking of the correspondence which forms the bulk of the collection.
