Note from Edward Gibbon's letter (7/8/1790) to Lord Sheffield

Lord Sheffield continued to represent the city of Bristol until he was removed to the British House of Peers, in 1802. He can never sufficiently acknowledge the liberality and kindness which he experienced, during the whole period, from the citizens of Bristol. He was not suffered to incur the least expense, not even for the printing of an advertisement.— Lord Sheffield
