PAPERS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THOMAS SHERIDAN (1775- 1817), son of the dramatist; 1795-1812. The papers relate to the business affairs of the Drury Lane theatre, of which Thomas Sheridan succeeded his father as general manager in Oct. 1806. The theatre was destroyed by fire 24 Feb. 1809, and in the interval before its rebuilding and reopening on 10 Oct. 1812 the Theatre Royal Company appeared at the Lyceum. The names of the writers of letters are given in the index to this Catalogue. For other papers relating to the Sheridans and Drury Lane theatre see Add. MSS. 25906- 26036, 29709-29711, 35118; Egerton MSS. 1975, 1976. The present papers come from the archives of the Sheridan family at Frampton Court, co. Dors., whence they were purchased by the Duke of Bedford in 1931. Whilst at Frampton the Sheridan archives were used for various biographies of R. B. Sheridan, including those by W. Fraser Rae (2 vols., 1896) and W. Sichel (2 vols., 1909), but the present papers, which contain comparatively few documents by him, are not specifically quoted. Four volumes. Paper. Large folio and (42723) octavo. Presented by the 11th Duke of bedford, K.G., through the Friends of the National Libraries. Cf. Brit. Mus. Quart., vii, 1932-1933, pp. 38-39, and Friends of the National Libraries, Annual Report, 1931-1932, Pp. 14-15.
