Notes

Copley destroyed most of his papers, but there are collections of remnants in Glam. RO (NRA 11640) and at Trinity College, Cambridge (20697). Before being divided, they were used by Sir Theodore Martin for his Life of Lord Lyndhurst (1883), which was written principally as a riposte to the alleged ‘mis-statements and malignant innuendo’ of Lord Campbell’s hostile portrait in his Lives of the Lord Chancellors (1869), viii. 1-210. The most recent biography is D. Lee, Lord Lyndhurst: the Flexible Tory (1994). See also Oxford DNB.
