| Publisher Description: Excerpt from Letters of Richard Thompson to Henry Thompson, of Escrick, Co; York The few letters which follow came quite recently into the possession of the British Museum. But little introduction is needed to them. The Thompson family was a very prominent one in York in the seventeenth century, and some account of it is given by the late Mr. Robert Davies in his Life of Marmaduke Rawdon, printed by the Camden Society in 1863. Sir John Reresby, who must have known most members of it very well, speaks of some of them as very anti-monarchical persons. Henry Thompson was elected for York city in the Parliament which met in March 1690, and was dissolved in October 1695. He was an ancestor of the present Lord Wenlock, whose seat is at Escrick.
