- Abstract:
- Manuscript, in two hands, of a commonplace book divided into three sections. The first section consists of an account of the Mordaunt's mission to the British Fleet in the Adriatic to discover how to capture the Dalmatian Islands from France. Traveling by water, he describes the passing scenery; when he lands on the islands of Fano and Lissa, he notes their populations and military fortifications; at Malta, he is impressed by the military fortifications and is forbidden to break quarantine despite the importance of his mission due to an outbreak of plague; and falls ill with fever at Palermo. Throughout, he also records business correspondence and conversations regarding political and military affairs. This narrative is followed, in a different hand, by copies of two letters from Mordaunt to Robert Mitford, one of which is labeled "Read to queen Charlotte by Mrs. Egerton," describing scenes from his travels; and one from L L. to an unnamed recipient. These letters are followed by a copy of a novel titled Adelaide; an excerpt from Lady Sydney Morgan's Book of the boudoir; and a list titled "Peregrinations of [?] Mitford," which lists the dates and mileage between towns visited.
