Description
Excerpt from The Greville Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 3: A Journal of the Reign of Queen Victoria, From 1837 to 1852
As far as I am myself concerned, I am desirous to complete, whilst I am able, the task allotted to me by Mr. Greville in his last hours, which indeed I regard as a sacred duty, since I know that in placing these Journals in my hands his principal motive and intention was that they should not be withheld from publication until the present interest in them had ex pired. The advance Of years reminds me that if this duty is to be performed at all by me, it must not be indefinitely delayed, and if any strictures are passed on the Editor Of these volumes, I prefer to encounter them in my own person rather than to leave the work in other hands and to the uncertainty Of the future.
