Book Description

Excerpt from Memoir of John Charles, Viscount Althorp, Third Earl Spencer In these pages are detailed the circumstances which led to Lord Grey's retirement from office and as the part which Lord Althorp played in them has been made a subject of comment, my Father thought it very desirable that a fair statement of the facts should be laid before the public, in order to furnish them with the necessary materials for appreciating his conduct. Since I undertook the duties of editor, additional matter of much interest (chie y letters to and from Lord Althorp) has been brought to my notice, and it is intended that the present volume should be followed at no distant period by another, containing selections from his correspondence and papers.
