Archive of Correspondence From the Hope Family, 1809-1824. [Manuscript Archive]. [Hope Family]. Hope Family Archive. Hope, Charles [1763-1851]. Hope, Louisa [d.1824]. Hope, Charlotte [1771-1834]. [8 Brief Autograph Letters from Members of the Hope Family, 1809-1824]. This is a small archive of correspondence from the Hope family of the early nineteenth century: the men of this family essentially formed a legal dynasty that spanned several centuries. There is, for instance, a letter from the Rt. Hon. Charles Hope, Lord Granton, when Lord President of the Court of Session, and a letter from his wife, Lady Charlotte Hope. Much of the correspondence may well be incoming correspondence of James Hope, W.S. [1769-1842], British lawyer, friend of Sir Walter Scott, and son of the famous physician and botanist Dr. John Hope [1725-1786]. There is an entry on James Hope in A History of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet (Edinburgh, 1890), p. 102. Apparently his namesake James Hope W.S. [1803-1882] was his apprentice at the society. This last-named James Hope [1803-1882] was the third son of Lord Granton and Lady Charlotte Hope, which suggests that family ties form a predominant pattern running through this archive. Typed transcripts included. $450. Some of the principal correspondents and figures: The Right Honourable Charles Hope (1763-1851), Lord Granton. He was Lord President of the Court of Session, and later Lord Justice General. Lady Charlotte Hope (1771-1834), the wife of Charles Hope (1763-1851), Lord Granton. James Hope, W.S. (1769-1842), British lawyer, son of the physician and botanist Dr. John Hope (1725-1786). There is an entry on James Hope in A History of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet (Edinburgh, 1890), p. 102. Apparently his namesake, James Hope, W.S. (1803-1882), was his apprentice at the society. This last-named James Hope (1803-1882) was the third son of Lord Granton and Lady Charlotte Hope. James Hope, W.S. (1769-1842) had a son who himself became a Writer to the Signet, John Hope (1807-1893), who is well-known as the founder of the Hope Trust. For more on John Hope and his family background, see the lengthy biography by David Jamie, John Hope: Philanthropist and Reformer (Edinburgh, 1900). Miss Louisa Hope (.
