Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes of Conversations With the Duke of Wellington: 1831-1851 "My first familiar acquaintance with the Duke of Wellington took its rise from a highly favourable and partial account which he received of a speech which I made against the Reform Bill in the House of Commons, March 22, 1831 - the second time that I spoke in Parliament. "After this I saw the Duke not unfrequently, and I had several conversations with him upon politics. I did not, however, take any notes of the Duke´s conversations until the close of October, when I met him for some days in Suffolk on a visit to the Marquis of Hertford. "Subsequently I went to pass some weeks with my grandfather. Lord Carrington, at Deal Castle; and I was then a near neighbour to the Duke at Walmer. "These notes were in all cases - but once in April 1838 - written or dictated by me to Lady Mahon either on the same day or at furthest the day after the conversations which they record; and I have never noted any thing when not quite sure of remembering it exactly. I can therefore vouch in the most confident manner for the certain accuracy of what I have here set down.
