[BRUNSWICK Caroline de] (1768 - 1821) [BRUNSWICK Caroline de] (1768 - 1821) HISTORY - [BRUNSWICK Caroline de] (1768 - 1821) - Collection of memorabilia Collection of memorabilia relating to the Trial of Queen Caroline in 1820, mounted in three large albums, over 400 pages, folio, morocco, rubbed, bookplate of Lord Fairhaven, in a slipcase, together with a folio printed volume, 1820. The collection comprises A. Authorized notes of admission to the House of Lords between August and November 1820, addressed to the doorkeeper and signed by peers and bishops (including Lords Grey, Holland, Aberdeen, Grenville, Wellesley, Melbourne, Melville, Sidmouth, and Wellington) (c.280).
