Excerpt from Memoirs of the Whig Party During My Time, Vol. 1

The Foreign Remi niscences were originally intended by him as a mere supplementary chapter to his Memoirs, and perhaps in coming out alone they exposed him to criticisms from which his universal benevolence might have saved him. I may perhaps have erred in pub lishin g them without what was meant to precede, but the interest felt at! The time for Continental politics, and especially for the name of Napoleon, led me to think the moment favourable for their appearance.

The following pages contain the first volume of a work which my Father comvi dedicatory letter.
