- Duke of Atholl memorandum to Lord Sidmouth on Manx 'respectable inhabitants', 1813
- Description
- A private memorandum from the Duke of Atholl to Lord Sidmouth (Home Secretary) concerning factional politics on the Isle of Man, specifically addressing Sidmouth's wish to consult 'respectable inhabitants.' Atholl defends his position against opponents including Major Taubman (whose father profited from smuggling), Curwen, Fitzsimmons, and others, while attacking Lieutenant Governor Smelt and Attorney General Frankland. Highly partisan and personal, reflecting post-Revestment tensions and the persistence of smuggling-era fortunes.
