230 HISTORY OF HARTING. 



This led to the Wellington Correspondence preserved 

 at Uppark, in the course of which the Duke assured Sir 

 Harry, " from all I have heard and know of Uppark, 

 I should prefer to have that place to any other." The 

 terms named were for the house alone .90,000 ; for 

 the estate, exclusive of the house, " 30 years' purchase 

 on a new valuation of the farms, and the timber at an 

 additional valuation."* 



In conclusion, let me say that the compilation of 

 the preceding pages has been a pleasant holiday task 

 for the last thirteen years, and that the work, imperfect 

 as I well know it to be, will have amply succeeded if 

 it add in any degree to what was so near the hearts 

 of many in all generations that have gone before us,* 

 and is felt at present by so many of her children far 

 and near, the true love of Harting.
