Duke of Atholl's application to Lord Grenville for governorship of Isle of Man

Source
12 February 1791

Letter from John, Duke of Atholl, to Lord Grenville requesting appointment as Governor of the Isle of Man. Written 26 years after the 1765 Revestment, this document reflects post-acquisition political developments and Atholl's continued interest in the island, notably his concerns about smuggling and revenue loss. It provides insight into Atholl's personal grievances and the ongoing constitutional arrangements after Parliamentary purchase of sovereignty.
