GREGORY S LETTER-BOX CORRESPOXDENCE of the Right Honourable William Gregory, 1813-1 S3 5. A large iron-clamped, leathercovered box at Coole bears this inscription. We sometimes talked, my husband and I, of reading through its contents. Once we even began to do so, but we happened to strike into a vein of applications for places, and after a few days work we tired of appeals on behalf of possessors of all the virtues who pined for any place, however poor or small, and we gave up the task for the time. But last winter, being alone, with patience and long evenings on my side, I set to work, and carne at last to the bottom of the box. I have not discovered any grave State secrets. Even the books recording the laying out of the Secret Service money, audited by c Bedford, Arthur Wellesley, Richmond, and their successors, reveal no plot against the liberties of the people. It is . ostensibly applied in detecting treasonable conspiracies, C., and was also used for the subsidising B of newspapers, the protection of threatened wit- nesses, and small pensions to the victims of olitical troubles. There is also a regular payment of 1001. per annum to a certain Dr. Parkinson c for per- formance of two odes on the birthdays of the King and Queen. That -as the golden age for a Court poet. Having read from beginning to end this mass of letters from those engaged in the Government of Ireland, the impression that remains is that they were all, all honourable men, and not only that, but truly anxious for the welfareof the country, looking with kindly, if somewhat prejudiced, eyes througll t, heir party-coloured glasses. One thing to be admired about them all is the beautiful clearness of their handwriting. There have been Viceroys and Chief Secretaries since then whose letters will make more severe demands upon the eyesight and ingenuity of their biographers. Mr. Gregorys writing indeed grows a little shaky as years advance, and his scorn of punctuation and unexpected- ness in the use of capitals make his own letters a little puzzling. They are traced in faded ink on thin copyirlg paper, and it is sometimes trying to the patience when a document, pored over and held in various lights and positions, is at last deciphered, to find it relates only to the survey of a road or the Reports of the Board of Health. But I have striven to write fair what time had blurred, and I have chosen here ancl there from all the correspondence such letters as seem to throw a light on the history of the time. But I cannot give anything like a continuous history, for during some months of every year the Viceroy and the Chief Secretary and the Under Secretary were together in Dublin, and, of course, during those months no letters passed between them. The extracts I give, however, seem to me. to throw some side lights on Castle government during those years. I see no need to apologise for their publication, - purchase and perusal being non-compulsory, but I may quote a sentence of. Lord Roseberys The Irish question has never passed into history, for it has never passed out of politics. And also a word said to me by Mr. Lecky, that far less is known of the early part of this century in Ireland than of the close of the last.Old Mr. Gregorys bust looks benevolently on niy labours. The geniality of his nature beams through its white marble. The bumps of percept.ion are strongly marked, as well they may be after many years of office in Ireland...
