'Can you tell me anything of a book, published or rather printed, by the late Earl of Bridgewater at his press in Paris. It was in the French language - & contained all the Egerton traditions, and papers relating to the Lord Chancellor Egerton. The Egertons of [italics] Tatton [end italics] know nothing of it. I do not know the present Lord Ellesmere well enough to ask him.'

Additional editor Arthur Pollard. Letter from Elizabeth Gaskell to James Crossley (?). it sounds, given that she knows so much, as if she had read/seen the book and wanted to know more about it.
