Abstract:This is an edition of the surviving correspondence of the two Dukes, which is preserved among the Goodwood Archives in the West Sussex Record Office and the Newcastle Papers in the British Library. The letters, which can be read as an almost continuous narrative, centre on a number of major themes in national political history, and in particular on the War of Austrian Succession; the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion; the fall of Walpole; the rise and fall of Carteret; and the careers of the Pelham brothers. At the same time they are equally revealing about the local scene, as they depict the activities of two aristocratic magnates dominating their respective halves of the county of Sussex. Richmond's career is well illustrated, as are county politics and society; the general elections of 1734, 1741 and 1747; and the important campaign against the smuggling gangs in the 1740's.
Previously unpublished and little known, Richmond's correspondence has been characterised by Professor L. C. Curtis in his Chichester Towers as "those wonderful unguarded letters to Newcastle, into which Richmond was wont to pack his horse sense, his sizing up of men, his humour, and so much of his affection". In his Duke of Newcastle, Professor Reed Browning pointed out that "the Newcastle papers in the British Museum reveal Richmond as a racy correspondent whose unblushing epistolary manner, in our own era of easier standards need no longer be confined to the archives." The volume has an introduction chronicling the careers of the two Dukes; a chronology; and a comprehensive index.

'Two of the Stoutest Legs in England': the 2nd Duke of Richmond's Leg Break in 1732, by Timothy J. McCann, published 2012 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 150, article, pp.139-141) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18615] & The Keep [LIB/500368] & S.A.S. library View Online
Abstract:The Duke of Richmond broke his leg in 1732. This apparently minor incident is significant because of the prominence of the duke, the distinction of the doctors who treated him, and the wealth of information on the treatment he received, revealed in the contemporary newspapers and the duke's surviving correspondence. Before the accident the duke was one of a number of occasional and enthusiastic gentleman cricket players. After the accident he became arguably the most important patron of cricket in the first half of the 18th century.
