Description
Excerpt from The Life of George, Fourth Earl of Aberdeen, K. G., K. T, Vol. 1 of 2
More than sixty years have passed since the death of the Prime Minister. The publication of the Short Life has undoubtedly made the editing of the papers left seem a work of some difficulty.
The vast and careful scale on which a longer memoir had been planned, made it almost impossible in these less leisured days to carry out the filial desire of the son, and the strong sense of duty which has throughout inspired the grandson.
In the light of this double inspiration, I have tried to present a readable and understandable picture both of the times in which Lord Aberdeen lived, and of the strong personality of the Queen''s Prime Minister.
