fair.
PARKER, _Sir Robert Peel_ (3 vols., 1891-1899), a large collection of
Peel's correspondence with a brief connecting narrative by the editor,
of great value even for the periods covered by the _Memoirs_. _The
Correspondence of King William IV. and Earl Grey, from November 1830 to
June 1832_ (2 vols., 1867), edited by Henry, Earl Grey, valuable for the
history of the reform. _The Melbourne Papers_ (1889), edited by Sanders,
throw light on Melbourne's relations with William IV. and with Brougham.
TORRENS, _Memoirs of Melbourne_ (2 vols., 1878), polemical, and sadly
deficient in documents. Lord HATHERTON, _Memoir and Correspondence
relating to June and July, 1834_ (published 1872), edited by H. Reeve,
on events connected with the fall of Grey's ministry. _The Croker
Papers_ (3 vols., 1884), edited by L. J. Jennings. Croker was secretary
to the admiralty from 1809 to 1830. The papers, which are very full from
1809 onwards, consist of correspondence and selections from Croker's
journals and correspondence. L. HORNER, _Memoir of Francis Horner_
(1843). E. HERRIES, _Public Life of J. C. Herries_ (1880), a defence of
Herries against the sneers of whig writers. Lord DUDLEY, _Letters to the
Bishop of Llandaff_ (Copleston), (1840), and _Letters to Ivy_ (1905,
edited by Romilly), interesting and often vivacious, but not of
first-rate importance. Sir HENRY BULWER (Lord Dalling), _Life of
Palmerston_ (2 vols., 1870), extending to 1840. The first chapter of a
third volume, edited by Evelyn Ashley (1874) makes good a few omissions
belonging to this period. The work consists mainly of correspondence and
extracts from Palmerston's journal. _Memoirs of Baron Stockmar_ (2
vols., 1872-1873), by his son Baron E. von Stockmar, edited by F. Max
Mueller. Stockmar was a confidential agent of Leopold, King of the
Belgians. The memoirs contain a narrative by William IV. of the
political history of his reign to 1835, including the circumstances of
Melbourne's resignation in 1834. CAMPBELL, _Lives of the Chancellors_ (8
vols., 1848-1869). The last volume contains excellent sketches of
Lyndhurst and Brougham, based largely on personal knowledge.
_Correspondence of Princess Lieven and Earl Grey, 1824-1834_, edited by
G. le Strange (1890). _Letters of Dorothea, Princess Lieven during Her
Residence in London, 1812-1834_, edited by L. G. Robinson (1902).
_Letters of Harriet, Countess Granville, 1810-1845_ (2 vols., 1894).
