Earl of Shaftesbury

By CH.

I have read with great interest Lord Shaftesbury's letter to Le Clerc, published in No. 67. May I ask your correspondents Janus Dousa and Professor des Amories Van der Hoven, whether the Remonstrants' library of Amsterdam contains any papers relating to the first Earl of Shaftesbury, which might have been sent by the third Earl to Le Clerc; and whether any notices or traditions remain in Amsterdam of the first Lord Shaftesbury's residence and death in that city? Any information relative to the first Earl of Shaftesbury will greatly oblige.
