Description

This microfilm collection contains papers of the Earls of Liverpool (Charles Jenkinson and Robert Banks Jenkinson) relating to America. Both men held high positions in the government of Great Britain. Charles served in the House of Commons, as a Lord of the Treasury, as a Lord of the Admiralty, and as Secretary-at-War during the American Revolution. Robert Banks Jenkinson held the offices of Foreign Secretary, Secretary for War and the Colonies and, from 1812-1827, Prime Minister.

The user must consult the contents list at the beginning of reel one to use the collection, as the papers are arranged by British Museum manuscript number order and are not in chronological or subject order.

The microfilm was made from original manuscripts in the British Museum, London. The choice of papers included in the collection is based on the listing in B.R. Crick, A Guide to Manuscripts Relating to America in Great Britian and Ireland (London, 1961). (Ref E 178 .G8 Folio)
