Almost no trace has survived of the life of Elizabeth du Bouchet after she moved from The Hague to London and gave birth to Philip Stanhope, the illegitimate son of Philip Dormer Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, in 1732. Thirty-three unpublished letters in the archive of the Chevening Estate, now at the Kent History and Library Centre in Maidstone, therefore offer scholars an unprecedented perspective on du Bouchet's life, on her continuing relationship with Chesterfield, and on their mutual concerns about the health and education of their son. These letters, all written in French by Chesterfield to du Bouchet over a thirty-year period, also provide an intimate view of the Earl's debilitating deafness, of his hopes for his son, and of his affection for — and occasional frustration with — his former mistress.

The only diary the author Catherine Hutton (1756–1846) is known to have kept is her travel diary, written in 1779 at the age of 23, in which she describes staying with various members of her extended family and friends while travelling around the Midlands. Her trip starts from her home in Birmingham and takes her through much of Derbyshire, with visits to Leicester and Nottingham towards the end of the journey. The diary offers a rich and vivid account of the sociability of a female member of the middling class, and of the trials that could involve, and sheds light both on Hutton's earlier life, and on the conventions and social mores of the time. The introduction contextualizes the journal and points to some of the challenges in exactly how it might be read.

As a diplomat of the Spanish crown, Don Luigi Riggio et Branciforte, Prince of Campofiorito, travelled through Europe for 34 years with his wife, Donna Caterina Gravina, bringing with them a vast collection of assorted furnishings. This article explores the connections that the Riggio family interweaved with societies around them and investigates their role as cross-agents in Sicily. Its intent is to investigate the relationship between their cross-agency and the materiality around them, by considering the capacity of architecture, as a comprehensive space made of walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, frescoes, and so on, to actively affect people's attitudes and behaviours. The article argues that the eclectic collection, constructing the international trait of the couple, stressed their alignment with both the hybrid taste introduced by the Bourbon monarchs of Spain and the politics underlying this taste.
作为西班牙王室的外交官，坎波菲奥里托王子路易吉·里吉奥·布兰奇福特（Don Luigi Riggio et Branciforte）和他的妻子唐娜·卡特琳娜·格拉维纳（Donna Caterina Gravina）在欧洲旅行了34年，带来了大量各式各样的家具。本文探讨了里焦家族与周围社会的联系，并调查了他们在西西里作为交叉代理人的角色。其目的是通过考虑建筑作为一个由墙壁、地板、天花板、家具、壁画等组成的综合空间的能力，积极影响人们的态度和行为，来研究他们的跨机构与周围物质之间的关系。文章认为，不拘一格的收藏，构建了这对夫妇的国际特质，强调了他们与西班牙波旁王朝君主引入的混合品味和这种品味背后的政治的一致性。
