Address from "an elector" to "the Worthy and Independent Electors of the Town of Nottingham" [c.26 July 1829] (ref. NeC4 569) |
This collection of papers reflects the Newcastle family's considerable patronage and influence in parliamentary elections, particularly in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.
The papers concern the elections in Newark, Retford, Bassetlaw and South Nottinghamshire, as well as Aldborough and Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, between 1790 and 1865, and in Falkirk Burghs, Scotland, in 1846. They are especially concerned with the bitter dispute between the 4th Duke of Newcastle under Lyne and his son, the Earl of Lincoln (later the 5th Duke of Newcastle under Lyne) over the election in South Nottinghamshire in 1846.

reckless and an ambitious party'; comments that the
press possesses a 'fearful power' for good or bad';
