Reviews for The Correspondence of John Campbell MP, with his Family, Henry Fox, Sir Robert Walpole and the Duke of Newcastle 1734-1771
“The Campbell of Cawdor archive is an exciting collection and Davies is to be commended for taking the first steps in making these papers better known. Other scholars will, I am sure, as a result of reading this volume, wish to take up the baton and make their own investigations.” (Parliamentary History, 5 October 2015)
