Biography
Adrian Lashmore-Davies
"Lashmore-Davies has performed a great service to eighteenth-century studies in making these letters easily accessible. We have long needed a more comprehensive modern edition of Bolingbroke’s correspondence, and we should be grateful for this enormous addition to the man of mercury’s invaluable epistolary canon." - Ashley Marshall, Eighteenth-Century Life
