Book Overview

An Epistle From William Lord Russell, To William Lord Cavendish is a historical document written by William Russell, an English nobleman, in 1683. The book is a letter addressed to William Cavendish, another nobleman, and it details Russell's thoughts and feelings about the political climate of the time.
