About This Item
London : Pimlico, 2005. Second Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 358 pages; Physical description: xviii, 358 p. ; 24 cm. Subjests: Greville, Charles, 1794-1865 - Diaries. Politicians - Great Britain - Diaries. Great Britain - Politics and government - 19th century. Summary: Charles Greville (1794-1865) made his first occasional diary entries in 1814, but the diary only became a regular habit in the mid-1820s, continuing with occasional breaks, about which he is self-reproachful, through the reigns of George IV, William IV and Victoria. Finally, in 1860, after shaking his head over the worrying triumphs of Garibaldi, he closed it, once and for all. This is the intelligent voice of another age, an uneasy aristocrat catching history on the turn and looking dubiously at the future.
