Notes
As Bulwer directed, his papers were sealed following his death and delivered to his brothers at Knebworth and Heydon, to give them the right to decide what to keep or destroy (The Times, 6 Aug. 1872). Some remain in private hands. Currently deposited are Herts. Archives, Lytton mss D/EK and Lytton (Knebworth) mss D/K; and Norf. RO, Bulwer (Heydon) mss BUL 1. Bulwer died before completing his autobiography, ‘A short sketch of my life’ (Lytton mss D/EK W125). A typescript account of his life from 1843 by H.E. Gascoyne Bulwer and E.A. Bulwer (D/EK W128) has not been used here. The only published biography, E.B. D’Auvergne, Envoys Extraordinary (1937), is inadequate. J. Decreus, Henry Bulwer-Lytton et Hortense Allart d’après des documents inedits (1961) covers 1825-35.
