Notes


 1. This annotation appears to the right of the title, and is in a different hand to the rest of the document, suggesting that a member of the Anson family wrote the list, and the other annotated it.
 2. The letter with pencil number ‘6’ is HAM/1/5/2/17, but it is not dated 27 March 1789, as stated above. A more likely date, inserted by an annotator, is 12 March, after the general celebrations on 10 March 1789, ‘last Tuesday’.

Editorial declaration: First edited in the project 'Unlocking the Mary Hamilton Papers' (Hannah Barker, Sophie Coulombeau, David Denison, Tino Oudesluijs, Cassandra Ulph, Christine Wallis & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2019-2023).

All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. Words split across two lines may have a hyphen on the first, the second or both fragments (reco-|ver, imperfect|-ly, satisfacti-|-on); or a double hyphen (pur=|port, dan|=ger, qua=|=litys); or none (respect|ing). Any point in abbreviations with superscripted letter(s) is placed last, regardless of relative left-right orientation in the original. Thus, Mrs. or Mrs may occur, but M.rs or Mr.s do not.
