Copies of correspondence of members of the Elliot (Eliot) family

The volume contains copies of letters and papers of General Granville Elliot, 1738-59, including both incoming and outgoing correspondence, notes and memoranda; with further correspondence between Francis Perceval Eliot (c.1756-1818, writer on finance) and his brother, Antoine Xavier Eliot, a French general, 1798-1814. The item also contains proofs of `Journal of the expeditions to the coast of France, 1758', from the ST GEORGE'S GAZETTE (the regimental paper of the Fifth Fusiliers), 1898 (1 vol.).

The volume was prepared in part for F.P.Eliot's son, William Granville Elliot, c.1816, and added to extensively in the later nineteenth century.
