Memoirs of the Court of George IV. 1820-1830 (Vol 1)
From the Original Family Documents
Memoirs of the Court of George IV, published in 1859 by the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, is drawn from the private letters of his family, the Grenvilles, who were closely involved in the politics of the period. This first volume covers the years from 1820 to 1823, beginning with the accession of George IV after his father's death. Letters from ministers, courtiers and politicians report on the Cato Street conspiracy, the return of Queen Caroline and the scandal of her trial, ministerial quarrels, the death of Castlereagh, and the shifting fortunes of the Grenville connection. The duke links the documents with a running commentary, and the result is close to a political diary of the decade. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
