Petty Papers. Vol. lix. (ff. 292). Manuscript of a biography of Sir William Petty by William, Earl of Kerry; [1830s, bef. 1836] . Copy in a clerical hand. The first page has the following note, dated Dec. 1928, by the 6th Marquess of Lansdowne: 'This is a fair copy of an [sic] M.S. (now destroyed) in the hand of William Earl of Kerry (1811-1836). Ld Kerry evidently had intended to publish it but this was prevented by his early death. He left also a number of notes on and transcripts from the Petty MSS at Bowood (These have also been destroyed) and probably was responsible for the binding up in volumes of a portion of the Papers at Bowood. Lord Fitzmaurice made use of this MS when writing his Life of Petty. The authority for some of the biographical details is not apparent'.
Biography: Sir William Petty, political economist: William Thomas Petty-Fitzmaurice, Earl of Kerry: Life of Sir W. Petty by Lord Kerry: bef. 1836.
