The Relations of Henry Cardinal York with the British Government
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
The origin of this paper on matters concerning Henry Cardinal York, the last representative of the main line of the Stuarts, is the purchase of a miscellaneous parcel of letters and papers belonging to the Morrison collection which was dispersed at Sotheby's in April, 1918. Apart from two autograph letters of the Cardinal, one of no special interest, and the other of rather unusual interest on account of its references to his brother Charles III, and also a letter of Louise, Countess of Albany, the wife of Charles III, the material proved on examination to consist mainly of letters, some originals and some copies, formerly belonging to Sir John Coxe Hippisley, Bt. This gentleman, a distinguished lawyer who was for many years engaged on sundry diplomatic missions for the British Government, was the person chiefly responsible for securing for Henry Cardinal York in his poverty and adversity in 1800 a pension from the British Government which he enjoyed until his death in 1807.
