“The Campbell of Cawdor archive is an exciting collection and Davies is to be commended for taking the first steps in making these papers better known. Other scholars will, I am sure, as a result of reading this volume, wish to take up the baton and make their own investigations.”  (Parliamentary History, 5 October 2015)
