| Summary | "Memoirs of the Court and Cabinets of George the Third" by the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work presents a detailed collection of original family documents and correspondence related to the political landscape during the reign of King George III. It offers insights into the intrigues and machinations of the royal courts and the cabinets, illuminating the complexities of governance and the political characters of the time. At the start of the memoir, the introduction emphasizes the significance of the correspondence compiled within the volumes, which provide a unique perspective on the political events and ministerial changes that shaped the period. The opening details the concluding days of Lord North's administration and the transition to the Rockingham cabinet, revealing the challenges faced and the key figures involved, including Lord Temple and Mr. Thomas Grenville. This opening portion sets the stage for a deep exploration of the intricate power dynamics and shifting allegiances that characterized the political milieu of late 18th-century Britain.
