Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Melbourne The latest and most authentic materials for a biography of Lord Melbourne are to be found in 'lord Melbourne's Papers, edited by Lloyd C. Sanders, with a preface by the Earl Cowper, k.g.' (longmans, Green, and Co., The volume was not published till after the following Memoir was begun, but it has been of great assistance to the author. His acknowledgments are also due to Mr. W. M. Torrens, whose 'memoirs of Lord Melbourne, ' in two volumes (macmillan and Co., furnish some information gathered from personal sources which is not to be found elsewhere. Sir Denis Le Marchant's Memoir of Lord Althorp, ' Lord Dalling's Life of Lord Palmerston, ' and Mr. Spencer Walpole's 'life of Lord John Russell, ' throw interesting side-lights on Lord Melbourne's career. The 'greville Memoirs' it is almost needless to mention. 'the Manuscripts of the Earl Cowper, k.g., preserved at Melbourne Hall, ' and published by the Historical Manu scripts Commission supply ample notices of the Coke family. The author's thanks are due to F. J. Head lam, Esq., who, as an old Etonian, kindly inquired of the Provost of Eton for any record or tradition of Lord Mel bourne's schooldays, and to Professor Jack, for similar inquiries made by him at Glasgow University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Melbourne's Papers I have been asked to write a Preface to this volume, partly in order to make known that the letters contained in it have been selected with my sanction and approval from those in my possession, and partly in hopes that my relationship to Lord Melbourne and my early recollections of him may enable me to throw some light upon his personality. I wish with all my heart that the last reason was as good as the first; but I fear that the task of drawing his character is above my capacity, and that my relationship and the early recollections which are its consequence are in my way rather than otherwise in making the attempt. I can only myself remember him when I was a boy, and after he had been attacked by his first paralytic stroke, and I have visions of a somewhat massive though not corpulent figure reclining in an arm-chair, a white or nearly white head, shaggy eyebrows, and a singularly keen and kindly eye, fits of silence occasionally broken by an incisive and rather paradoxical remark, accompanied by a genial laugh and a rubbing of the hands together. I remember also noticing how easily the tears came into his eyes, not so much, as I have heard it said, at anything tender or affecting, as at the expression of a noble or generous sentiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of a Conservative: In Which Are Shown the Only Means of Saving What Is Left of the Church, Addrest to Lord Melbourne It is known to many distinguished men, literary and political, of both parties, that I have long been occupied in writing a work, which I thought to entitle The Letters of a Conservative. In these I attempted to trace and to expose the faults and fallacies of every administration, from the beginning of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. I was born at the opening of that year; and many have been my opportunities of conversing, at home and abroad, with those who partook in the events that followed it. On looking over the large quantity of materials I had collected, and of the papers I had composed out of them, I found, among the latest, no mild reprehension of some living statesmen. This followed as the corollary of their recorded words and actions. But the mischief they did is now in part removed, though not by them nor indeed with their consent; and the exposure of it could only serve for the indulgence of ill-humour and the excitement of malignity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prime Ministers of Queen Victoria Not long after his accession to the peerage, Melbourne was the victim Of a miserable action in the Court of King's Bench. It appears that while in Ireland he had been a frequent guest Of Lord Brandon, whose wife was a clever but lively and volatile woman. At her house he met with much congenial company. The ill-assorted marriage Of Lord and Lady Brandon led to grave difficulties, and his Lordship was unfortunately advised to sue Lord Melbourne for damages on the alleged ground Of improper intimacy with his wife during a visit to London. The case collapsed and a nonsuit was entered, there not being a shred Of proof against Melbourne. Lord Brandon then instituted proceedings against his wife in the Ecclesiastical Court, but was equally unsuccessful.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Melbourne, on the Cause of the Higher Average Price of Grain in Britain Than on the Continent The average price of grain in Britain has, for a long series of years, been higher than in the neigh bouring countries of Europe. It is of the utmost importance to ascertain the cause or causes of this higher price. The following appear to be the principal -lst, Scarcity, the effect of monopoly; 9d, The higher rate of taxation in this than in' the neighbouring nations; 3d, The higher rate of the real wages of labour in this than in the other countries of Europe. If it can be proved, that the first is fiche only cause of the higher average price of grain in B1 itain there can be no doubt that it is the interest of e'very class In the community to have it removed: If the: second cause, the higher rate of taxation in Britain, has the slightest influence on the price of grain, the question assumes a very different aspect And if the third cause, the higher real wages of labour in Britain.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Right Honourable William, Second Viscount Melbourne, Vol. 2 of 2 Althorp, who sympathised at heart with a growing desire of his supporters for a remedial change of policy, told the Cabinet that he could not resist successfully in debate the reappropriation of surplus ecclesiastical funds; and Russell told the House of Commons that, in or out of place, he should vote for the adoption of that principle. Stanley, Graham, Richmond and Ripon held the title of the Anglican establishment to all church property in Ireland to be inde feasible; and failing to enforce their view in council, on the 27th of May, resigned. Their places were filled up by the promotion of Spring Rice, Lord Auckland, the Marquis Conyngham, and Poulett Thomson. The administration, thus modified, held together for a few weeks longer; but on the question involved in the renewal of the Coercion Act it was doomed to founder. Althorp and four of his colleagues were for abating materially the exceptional rigour of its enactments. Mr. Littleton had privately told o'connell that the Viceroy and he were for omitting the political clauses, and that the bill would be brought in without them; whereupon the Repeal candidate for Wexford was induced to withdraw in favour of the Whig; and an address to the Radicals of England denouncing the Prime Minister, which was actually in type, was withheld by o'connell. Mean while the unaltered act was brought before the Cabinet by the Premier, who cited a despatch of Lord Wellesley declaring it to be indispensable. But a subsequent letter from him.
