In 1791 Elizabeth Gunning (Plunkett) was at the centre of a society scandal,
which was discussed at times throughout the year in columns in GM,
London Chron, and Morning Post, as well as in a number of Horace
Walpole’s letters to the Barry sisters. Susannah Gunning’s pam on the subject,
A letter from Mrs Gunning, addressed to his Grace The Duke of
Argyll, was reviewed in periodicals such as Analytical Rev, Monthly Rev
and Critical Rev, as was Essex Bowen’s A Statement of facts, in answer
to Mrs Gunning’s Letter, Addressed to His Grace the Duke of Argyll.
At least two anonymous writers also pbd pams on the subject, and it is discussed
at length in General John Gunning’s Memoirs. Susannah Gunning’s
novel The memoirs of Mary is loosely based on the incident, and Elizabeth
Gunning repeatedly makes oblique references to the scandal in The packet.
