Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Private Letters of Sir Robert Peel The letters included in this volume were preserved, after the death of Sir Robert Peel in 1850, by his widow. Lady Peel. On her death in 1859, they passed into the possession of her second son, Sir Frederick Peel. They remained at his house, Hampton Manor, in Warwickshire, until his death in 1906. Subsequently they have been committed to my charge. In publishing them I have had more than one object in view. First, there is the purely personal consideration that all the members of so widespread a family should be afforded the opportunity, of which I am sure they will be glad, of reading such intimate domestic records. Then, too, the public at large will surely be pleased to be presented with a picture, rare of its kind, of the inward life of a statesman hitherto only placed before them in his official capacity. Next, I entertain the thought that the student of the society of that age will welcome an account from within as to what went on at Windsor and Strathfieldsaye, at Apthorpe and Belvoir Castle and Sudburn, from the pen of one who was necessarily a chief figure in that departed world.
