manuscripts of personal or literary interest or value, but facsimiles of these items were
subsequently provided to the Huntington and have been integrated into the original
collection.

Historical Note
Descendants of Sir Thomas Egerton, Baron Ellesmere and Viscount Brackley (1540?-1617), a
noted jurist, statesman, and patron of the arts and literature, the Egertons were known as a
politically and socially influential family. John Egerton, son of Sir Thomas Egerton,
obtained earldom, and John Scrope Egerton was made the 1st Duke of Bridgewater. With the
death of Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, the dukedom became extinct. The childless
duke left the Bridgewater House in London, together with its famous library to his nephew
George Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland. His son Francis Egerton Ellesmere
(1800-1857) who assumed the name of Egerton, was created Viscount Brackley and 1st Earl of
Ellesmere. He was known as a poet, collector and patron of scholarship, the first President
of the Camden society. He retained the services of John Payne Collier, the literary critic
and notorious forger. Collier published a catalog of selected items from the Bridgewater
Library. He also acquired the collection of plays of John Larpent, Examiner of Plays, which
he sold to the Earl in 1853.
Bibliography
Scope and Content
This collection contains the official, semi-official, and personal papers of six
generations of the Egerton family of Great Britain. Also known as the "Ellesmere
Collection," the papers span from 1150-1803 and include approximately 13,000 pieces with
particular strengths related to domestic management, religion, politics, literature, law,
and diplomacy from the late 16th through 18th centuries. The geographic scope of the
collection includes all of the British Isles, the British Atlantic, and early colonial
America, and foreign relations with Western Europe.
The papers include the personal letters and papers of the family (although there are
relatively few household and estate accounts), literary manuscripts, and the official and
semi-official papers relating to offices held by various members of the family, particularly
those accumulated by Sir Thomas Egerton, 1540?-1617, Baron Ellesmere and Viscount of
Brackley, Solicitor-General (1581-1592), Attorney-General (1592-1594), Lord Keeper
(1596-1603), and Lord Chancellor (1603-1617); Sir John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater,
1579-1649, President of the Council of Wales (1631-1649); John Egerton, 2nd Earl of
Bridgewater, 1622-1686, Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire (1660-1686); John Egerton, 3rd
Earl of Bridgewater, 1646-1701, President of the Board of Trade (1696-1699), First Lord of
Admiralty (1699-1701), Speaker of the House of Lords (1697 and 1700); John Scrope Egerton,
1st Duke of Bridgewater, 1681-1745, a Whig courtier under Anne and George I, and Francis,
3rd Duke of Bridgewater, 1736-1803. Included are literary manuscripts (many of them
presentation copies), which comprised the library at Bridgewater House. Also included are
the papers of the Stanley family, earls of Derby related to the Egertons, through the
marriage of Sir Thomas Egerton to Alice, widow of Ferdinando Stanley, the 5th Earl,
including some material concerning the Isle of Man, of which the earls of Derby were
hereditary lords. As well, the women in this family are well documented and represented
within the papers, including Alice Spencer (1559-1637), Countess of Derby; Frances Stanley
Egerton (1583-1636), Countess of Bridgewater; Elizabeth Cavendish Egerton (1626-1663),
Countess of Bridgewater; Elizabeth Cranfield Egerton (ca. 1627-1663); Jane Paulet Egerton
(ca. 1656-1716), Countess of Bridgewater; Elizabeth Churchill Egerton (ca. 1687-1714),
Countess of Bridgewater; and Rachel Russell Egerton (ca. 1700-1777), Dowager Duchess of
Bridgewater.
The collection also contains photocopies of some 1,600 manuscripts that the Egerton family
chose to retain in their possession.
Calendar of the Bridgewater and Ellesmere Manuscripts
Prior to the purchase of the collection by Henry Huntington, a ten-volume handlist entitled
"Calendar of the Bridgewater and Ellesmere Manuscripts" was compiled at Bridgewater House by
London historical researcher Mary Trice Martin (ca. 1868-1925), the daughter of the
assistant keeper of the Public Record Office Charles Trice Martin (author of
The
Record Interpreter)
and a student of his colleague Dr. Hubert Hall. These volumes
contain typed itemized lists of the 13,000 manuscripts in this collection, with additional
handwritten notes added by various scholars and curators.
These volumes have been digitized and are available as downloadable PDFs.

-
John
Larpent Papers (mssLA 1-2503)
(purchased with the Egerton Family
Papers).
- The present collection should be distinguished from the Egerton Papers in the British
Library, which were bequeathed to that institution by the 8th Earl of Bridgewater.
- Supplementary Egerton family papers (chiefly estate papers and accounts for the
Brackley estate) may be found in the Northamptonshire Record Office.
- In the 19th century, when the Egerton family bequeathed manuscripts and funds to the
British Museum, they accidentally included some family papers that were not intended to be
part of the gift. (Why they were initially given or why they were not intended to be given
is not clear.) These manuscripts were initially accepted by the British Museum and stamped
in red with the British Museum stamp. Before cataloging, the error was discovered and the
manuscripts were returned to the family. These manuscripts are now part of the
Huntington's Egerton Family Papers. They are distinguishable by the red British Museum
stamp.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged according to the organizational system created at Bridgewater
House prior to the collection's purchase by Henry Huntington, and reflected in the "Calendar
of the Bridgewater and Ellesmere Manuscripts." Each item was assigned to one of numerous
subject or genre categories, which were, in turn, grouped broadly into chronological periods
as follows:
- 1. To 1617 (the death of Lord Chancellor Ellesmere)
- 2. 1617-1649 (the death of the 1st Earl of Bridgewater)
- 3. 1649-1686 (the death of the 2nd Earl of Bridgewater)
- 4. 1686-1701 (the death of the 3rd Earl of Bridgewater)
- 5. 1701-1745 (the death of the 1st Duke of Bridgewater)
- 6. 1745-1803 (the death of the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater)
- 7. Miscellany and undated. ca. 1200-1800.
Note: there are very few 19th-century papers.
Each item retains the permanent reference number assigned at Bridgewater House (either a
simple "EL" number and/or, in the case of individual volumes, a combination of numbers and
letters according to their Bridgewater House shelf marks). Although this organization is at
times inconsistent and the subject categories in particular often overlap, both the assigned
reference numbers and the general format of the ten-volume "Calendar" have been widely cited
and, therefore, the decision was made to retain the present system.
