Description
Excerpt from The Greville Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 3: A Journal of the Reigns of King George IV. And King William IV
No one was more conscious than the Author of the incompleteness of these Journals, and of a certain rough ness, due to the impromptu character of a manuscript hastily written.down on the spur of the moment. He was more disposed to underrate their merits, as appears from his concluding remarks, than to exaggerate their im portance and it has been justly said that the severest critic of these volumes is Mr. Greville himself. But the public have judged them more favourably and if he entertained a hope that he might contribute some pages to the record of his times and the literature of his country, that hope was not altogether vain.
