June 18, 2022I read what I believe was the first edition, published in 1890.
Volume 1 covers 1824 to 1830.
I learned much about politics in England, and Europe as a whole, during this era. Admittedly I had limited previous knowledge of this and often found myself a little confused, but overall I enjoyed the letters and found them eye-opening. It’s fascinating to read history as written by those around whom it was happening.
I did often wonder what Guy LeStrange edited out with his many ellipses […] and often wanted it put back in just so I would know what was left out! Often it seemed like it was more personal or domestic, and I wanted to know the details.
A final note: These books were sitting in my mother’s office for most of my life, and as a teen I assumed they were love letters. They’re not. They’re mostly about politics, written by two “key players” in the British and European political scene at the time. However, every once in a while there is a dash of flirtation between the two…
