Summary "The Greville Memoirs, Part 2 (of 3), Volume 3 (of 3)" by Charles Greville is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as a diary chronicling the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1852, presenting a rich tapestry of the political events and social dynamics of that era. The memoirs likely provide insight into key figures, government affairs, and notable historical events, which adds intricate layers of context for readers interested in British history. At the start of the volume, the narrative entwines the death of Mr. Thomas Grenville with burgeoning international tensions, especially concerning Russia’s measures in Poland and French diplomatic dealings regarding Spanish marriages. Greville offers a personal reflection on Grenville’s character, highlighting his longevity, scholarly pursuits, and aversion to significant political change. As discussions unfold, the reader gets a glimpse into the complex web of political relationships and maneuverings at play, with figures like Lord Palmerston and various foreign envoys featured prominently in the dialogue surrounding critical issues of the era. This opening sets up a memoir steeped in both personal narrative and broader geopolitical concerns, which promises an engaging read for those interested in the intricacies of 19th-century politics.
