EVELYN PAPERS. Vol. CCCLXXXVI. Letters to William Mann Godschall of Weston House, near Guildford, chiefly from Dr Alexander Hunter of York (1733-1809) concerning his new edition of Sylva, and from the Earl of Portsmouth concerning Sir Isaac Newton’s papers; 1775-1787. On the evidence of the letters, Godschall acted as Hunter’s intermediary in obtaining the patronage of Sir Frederick Evelyn, to whom the edition was dedicated in 1776 (see Keynes, Evelyn: a Study in Bibliophily, p. 142). The letters may have been given to the Evelyn family after Godschall’s death, possibly through the agency of William Bray. For Godschall and the Newton archive, see Rob Iliffe, `Unity in Newton’s Archive’, in Archives of the Scientific Revolution, ed. Michael Hunter (London, 1997), p. 141. The bulk of his family and personal papers are held at the Surrey History Centre, Woking.
