"Biographical Notices of the Portraits at Hinchingbrook" by Mary Louisa Boyle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides detailed descriptions and biographical sketches of the portraits located in Hinchingbrook House, focusing particularly on notable figures from English history. Through these descriptions, Boyle aims to highlight both the larger historical impacts of these individuals and the more intimate aspects of their lives. The opening of the work introduces the context of the portraits at Hinchingbrook House, specifically detailing the life and contributions of Edward Montagu, the first Earl of Sandwich. The narrative outlines his political and military career during a tumultuous period in English history, including his loyalty to the crown and involvement in naval engagements. The text employs a rich blend of historical anecdotes and personal reflections from contemporaries, such as Samuel Pepys, illustrating the earl's complex character and the significance of his legacy within the Montagu family's lineage. This section not only paints a vivid picture of Earl Sandwich's life but also sets the tone for the exploration of other characters represented in the portraits found at Hinchingbrook.
