of very eminent persons, of whom some are still living, while of
others the memory is so fresh that they still seem almost to be
contemporaneous."--_The Academy._

"Such Memoirs as these are the most interesting contributions to
history that can be made, and the most valuable as well. The man
deserves gratitude from his posterity who, being placed in the
midst of events that have any importance, and of people who bear
any considerable part in them, sits down day by day and makes a
record of his observations."--_Buffalo Courier._

"The Greville Memoirs, already in a third edition in London, in
little more than two months, have been republished by D. Appleton
& Co., New York. The three loosely-printed English volumes are
here given in two, without the slightest abridgment, and the
price, which is nine dollars across the water, here is only four.
It is not too much to say that this work, though not so ambitious
in its style as Horace Walpole's well-known 'Correspondence,' is
much more interesting. In a word, these Greville Memoirs supply
valuable materials not alone for political, but also for social
history during the time they cover. They are additionally
attractive from the large quantity of racy anecdotes which they
contain."--_Philadelphia Press._

"These are a few among many illustrations of the pleasant, gossipy
information conveyed in these Memoirs, whose great charm is the
free and straightforward manner in which the writer chronicles his
impressions of men and events."--_Boston Daily Globe._

"As will be seen, these volumes are of remarkable interest, and
fully justify the encomiums that heralded their appearance in this
country. They will attract a large circle of readers here, who
will find in their gossipy pages an almost inexhaustible fund of
instruction and amusement."--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._

"Since the publication of Horace Walpole's Letters, no book of
greater historical interest has seen the light than the
Greville Memoirs. It throws a curious, and, we may almost say, a
terrible light on the conduct and character of the public men in
England under the reigns of George IV. and William IV. Its
descriptions of those kings and their kinsfolk are never likely to
be forgotten."--_N. Y. Times._
