Early Correspondence of Lord John Russell, Vol. 1

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Early Correspondence of Lord John Russell, Vol. 1: 1805-40 The present volumes are the outcome of a protracted sifting and examination during the last ten years of a confused mass of papers which had apparently never been put in order since they were received, and of a selection from the well, arranged but only slightly used correspondence belonging to the period of official life from the Reform Bill to 1840. Many of the earlier letters were only, just legible from age, and many of the later, especially Brougham´s and Melbourne´s, were from the character of the handwriting hardly decipherable. Of the political correspondence I have selected only a small proportion. A few of the letters have been printed before in Walpole´s "Life of Lord John Russell," or in Moore´s "Diary and Correspondence"; others, though relevant, have been omitted owing to their having appeared in print before. Material during the eventful years 1831 and 1832 is singularly meagre, partly perhaps owing to the extreme pressure of parliamentary work and of general correspondence and to the non-administrative, reputedly sinecure position of the Paymaster-General.
