A son of the Earl of Minto, Elliot (hereafter GSE) was Russell's brother-in-law and one of his two executors. The events described in the present collection occurred while GSE was living with Russell, who was then Home Secretary, as his private secretary; and the controversy is over the claim that the replacement of Sir James Hudson as Italian ambassador by GSE's brother, the future Sir Henry Elliot (1817-1907), was an 'act of nepotism' on the part of Russell. A favourite of the Whig leadership, Hudson had served successively as secretary to the legations at Washington, the Hague, and Rio de Janeiro (where he was active in the suppression of the Brazilian slave trade), before being appointed in 1852 minister of legation at Turin. Identifying strongly with the Italian liberal-nationalist movement, he became closely associated with the policies of Cavour. His retirement in 1863 was made, according to the Oxford DNB, 'amid press speculation that Lord John Russell had forced him from office to make way for Russell's brother-in-law Henry Elliot. The controversy was revived in 1868 and 1885.' On Hudson's death The Times, 24 September 1885, described the 'amazement, not unmixed with indignation' on the part of the public over the way in which Hudson had been treated, and the Daily News, 23 September 1885, stated that Hudson 'was, by an act of nepotism too familiarly associated with the names of the allied families, removed by Lord Russell from the Legation there to make way for Sir Henry Elliot'. The present collection consists of the manuscripts of GSE's pamphlet in defence of his brother and Russell, written between 1881 and 1886, with related material (including letters from Countess Russell and Sir Henry Elliot), and including the 'unpublished part' of the pamphlet, containing material which GSE claims is 'especially worthy of attention as exhibiting delusions on [Hudson's] part hardly compatible with soundness of mind'. The collection is in good condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. The following description is divided into twelve parts, and all manuscripts are by GSE unless otherwise stated. ONE: Printed pamphlet titled 'Sir James Hudson and Earl Russell. An Historical Rectification from Authentic Documents. By the Hon. George Elliot.' London: William Ridgway, 169, Piccadilly, W. 1886. [2] + 65pp., 8vo. In grey printed wraps. At the head of the front cover Elliot has written 'With Notes - see pp.18 28 35, 53'. On p.28 is an autograph note concerning the lease of Hudson's house in Turin, and on the other three pages (18, 35 and 53) Elliot has indicated in autograph where notes lettered A, B and C are to be placed. The three autograph 'Notes to Hudson Pamphlet' are in a bundle (10pp., 12mo) on three bifoliums attached with string, loosely inserted in the volume. That the notes were written after the publication of the pamphlet is indicated by a reference in Note C to Lord Clanricarde, 'in a letter to the St. James's Gazette (March 3d. 1886)', taking exception to a paragraph in the pamphlet. Note A (4pp.) contains a 'summary' of correspondence 'found among Hudson's papers after his death', together with an explanation of '[t]he way I obtained knowledge of the above correspondence'. TWO: Holograph manuscript of 'Hudson Case. | The unpublished part', signed at end 'Geo. S. Elliot'. 27pp., 8vo. With deletions and notes. In paper folder. On 20 leaves attached with pink ribbon to leaf bearing the following signed autograph note: 'This is the latter half of my Paper on the Hudson case as originally drawn up. - It contains several particulars which I thought it proper to omit in the published Pamphlet. - | The transaction relating to the the house in Turin which he had made over to Henry Elliot, is especially worthy of attention as exhibiting delusions on his part hardly compatible with soundness of mind. | G. S. E | Jany. 1889'. As Elliot explains in the note, the manuscript is an alternate version of the latter part (pp.54-65) of Item One ('Pamphlet p.54' is written at the head of the first page), giving greater detail and additional information. Paginated in pencil 38-64, it forms with Item Four below, which is paginated 1-36, the complete original draft. Seven pages concern Hudson's 'misrepresentations or delusions' on the 'subject of the house & furniture at Turin', including a four-page transcript of the first part of a letter from Hudson to Elliot, Desenzano, 24 September 1863, with nine long marginal notes by Elliot. (On p.54 of Item One above, Elliot explains the reason why this passage was omitted from the published version: 'As this was a private transaction between him and Henry Elliot, I refrain from giving this part of his letter, though it is not without reluctance I withhold it, as it would have served to show the extraordinary mistakes into which he was capable of falling, and the delusions under which he was labouring as to what he himself had written and what had been written him in reply.') In the next part of this manuscript, also unpublished, Elliot produces evidence to support his claim that Hudson 'was at all times very inaccurate in his figures'. This part includes an extract from a letter written by one of Hudson's relations, of which Elliot comments: 'Such was the language used by those who, as Hudson's relations, were believed to know the truth & to have got their facts from him.' This item is accompanied by a 12mo leaf carrying the following signed autograph note: 'Mem. | The latter part of this Paper on the Hudson case - p.38 to the end - has been taken out to send to Walpole - | G. S. E. | Januy. 1889'. 'Walpole' is the civil servant and historian Sir Spencer Walpole (1839-1907), who published a life of Lord John Russell in 1889. THREE: Autograph manuscript: fair copy of Item Two. 20pp., 8vo. Incomplete: paginated 36-44, 49-59. Almost all of p.49, including a pencil marginal note, deleted in pencil. FOUR: Autograph manuscript: 'Memorandum | The Hudson Case.' 36pp.

7pp., 12mo. On two bifoliums. In good condition, on aged paper. First page headed 'Private'. Docketed by Elliot 'My Father's death'. An excellent letter casting interesting light on the machinations of the Liberal government. Erskine is attempting something requiring all of his diplomatic tact: sending appropriate condolences to Elliot on his father's death before turning to his 'own concerns': the putting of his case to Elliot as the brother-in-law of the Foreign Secretary Lord John Russell, on the question of his 'grievance' against Russell and the Foreign Office. (As Erskine's entry in the Oxford DNB explains, he had been appointed Secretary of the Legation at Washington in May 1858, but had been moved to Stockholm before the end of the year.) He begins by explaining that on hearing the news that Lord Minto was ill he quite understood why Elliot did not reply to his previous letter. 'On receiving the news of his death I had intended to write either to you or to one of your sisters - but felt some delicacy about it as it might look like a fresh attempt to remind you of my own concerns; but I can most sincerely assure you that I have regretted the death of Lord Minto more than that of any one beyond the circle of my immediate relations.' He has found himself 'unconsciously going back to old times & thinking what sincere pleasure it would have given poor Ld. Minto to see how well the much maligned Italians have deserved the sympathy he felt for them. Most generous-minded Englishmen share this feeling to some extent, but I never met with any one - except a native of the Country - who took so deep an interest in the welfare of Italy as your Father.' He contrasts 'the soundness & simplicity of his advice' with 'the distrust which is so universal abroad against the supposed selfishness of British Politicians.' He next turns to Lord John Russell and the Foreign Office: 'I am much obliged to you for telling me so frankly how I stand with Ld. John. A man is notoriously a bad judge in his own case and I had by degrees worked myself into the belief that Ld. Malmesbury [James Howard Harris (1807-1889), 3rd Earl of Malmesbury, Russell's predecessor as Foreign Secretary, having left that post in June 1858] had taken a harsher view of my mistake than it deserved - Indeed I had at one time succeeded so completely in convincing him of his error, that he desired me vivâ voce to call at the F[oreign]. O[ffice]. at 3 on the following day to offer to the Cabinet the same explanation which had so much surprised His Lordship and Mr. Fitzgerald - but alas! There is many a slip between the cup & the lip - and when I appeared in the waiting room according to appointment, either Ld. Malmesbury had wholly lost sight of me and my affairs - or his Colleagues had argued him out of the view he took when he dismissed me.' He descibes the problems which followed over a written statement which he 'showed to Mr. Fitzgerald (as is known to Mr. Murray & others in the F.O.)'. He assumes that Elliot will say that 'Ld. John has formed his opinion & nothing that I say will alter it', but asks him to make allowances for 'a man who thinks he has got a grievance': 'At first it was a heavy blow to me to hear that even under the present Govt. my chance of promotion is a remote one'. He discusses Elliot's brother's 'appointment to Naples', assuring him that he has 'heard no serious criticism' of it; and praises the appointment of '' to the National Defence Commission. He concludes in sendy regards to Elliot's family.

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. With a couple of minor emendations. At top left of first page Elliot has written 'Copy'. Docketed on reverse of second leaf: 'Austrian Emigration'. Begins: 'In the Austrian Code (Decree of 1832) Emigration is treated of under a distinct head. | Every Austrian Subject removing to a foreign state or remaining abroad sine animo revertendi, as the Scotch wd. express it, is held to be an Emigrant.' Most of the third page is taken up with a precis of two points 'From Proclamation of Feb. 1851', following which the document ends: 'The above is not applicable to certain individuals excluded by name from the amnesty.' The document may date from Russell's second and last time as Foreign Secretary, 1859-1865, around which time the Emperor of Austria issued a proclamation granting an amnesty to emigrants from Venetia. From the Elliot papers.
