Binding. A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland, and of the Islands in the British Seas..., being a Continuation of the Topography of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, by Nicholas Carlisle, 2 vols., 1813, pencil note to endpaper `from the Duke of Newcastle`s library at Clumber`, marbled endpapers with neatly repaired hinges, contemporary diced calf, rebacked preserving original gilt decorated spines, gilt armorial device of 4th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyme to centre of each board, 4to. Henry Pelham Pelham Clinton was the son of Thomas, 3rd Duke of Newcastle, and Anna Maria Stanhope, youngest daughter of William, 2nd Earl of Harrington. He succeeded his father as 4th Duke of Newcastle in 1795, when he was only ten years old. He was educated at Eton and founded the Newcastle Prize at Eton in 1829. In 1807 he married Georgiana Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Miller Mundy Esq. of Shipley in Derbyshire, and was made a Knight of the Garter in 1812. A rigid conservative and an unpopular landlord, a mob burned down his family seat of Nottingham Castle in 1831 as a result of the Duke`s opposition to the 1832 Reform Act. He added largely to the library formed by his grandfather, Henry, 2nd Duke of Newcastle, many of the finest books and manuscripts coming from his purchase of the library of Thomas Johnes of Hafod, the translator of Froissart. The Newcastle`s Nottinghamshire home Clumber Park was demolished in 1938 with the building material and many of the contents, including the library and rare manuscripts being sold to raise money. (2)
