Scope and content

Prestons, Ighton [on embossed notepaper for 8 Grosvenor Crescent]. - Writes out his suggested reply to Napier's last letter. Should criticisms of Napier's father's relations with Lord Macaulay or his conduct as editor of the Edinburgh Review arise on the publication of the Life of Macaulay, Sir Charles 'will be ready to give [Napier] every facility consistent with his duty as Representative of Lord Macaulay, it being understood that the Letters or portions of letters proposed to be published will be indicated to him beforehand and that they will not be published without his consent'. Sir Charles 'has already acknowledged the obligation he is under' to Napier for providing copies of the letters, and feels he has acted towards him 'with corresponding liberality' in making the proposal in his letter of 21 June.
