 JOHN KEATS: HIS LIFE AND POETRY, HIS FRIENDS, CRITICS AND AFTER-FAME, by Sidney Colvin, 1917
Monckton Milnes was faithful to his trust, but not swift or prompt in fulfilling it.
Thus, between the effects of Monckton Milnes's book and the enthusiasm of various groups of university men and poets and artists, the previously current contempt for Keats was from soon after the mid-century practically silenced and the battle for his fame, at least among the younger generation, won.
One of the earliest new issues was that edited in 1850 by Monckton Milnes, who continued nearly until the end, under his new style as Lord Houghton, to further by fresh editions and revisions the good work he had begun.

 Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
The private papers of Walter Turner Monckton, legal advisor to Edward, were released by the Bodleian Library in Oxford on January 29, 2003 (except for one batch concerning private correspondence to Monckton from Queen Elizabeth, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, which remains embargoed until 2037).
They provide a valuable insight into the facts and attitudes behind the abdication, and the rumours and innuendo that shaped them, most notably concerning Wallis Simpson.
Once Edward VIII abdicated, it is difficult to see how he could have regained the throne even if he wanted to, without wholesale revolution or a coup d'état.

His papers were given to his old college in two sections, the first by Lady Monckton in 1971 and the second by his literary trustees in 1977.
Other papers, official files of Lord Monckton's in a succession of government offices, were closed in line with the Public Record Office's 30-year rule, and gradually released (with no media attention!) throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.
Lord Monckton's archive is only one of the very many collections of papers of politicians, writers, diplomats, scholars, churchmen, scientists and their families, which have been steadily accumulated by the Bodleian over decades and which place the library in the forefront of resources for the study of British society and government in the 20th century.

— Historian, 2nd son of James S. of Rubislaw, friend of Sir Walter Scott, was a Writer to the Signet in Edinburgh, and Clerk of the Bills in the Court of Session.
In 1590 he was visited by Sir Walter Raleigh, who persuaded him to come to England, and presented him to the Queen, from whom he received a pension of £50, which does not, however, appear to have been regularly paid, and on the whole his experiences of the Court did not yield him much satisfaction.
