| Summary | "The Greville Memoirs, Part 3 (of 3), Volume 1 (of 2)" by Charles Greville is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume covers a transformative period in British politics, specifically focusing on Queen Victoria's reign from 1852 to 1860. The memoir offers personal insights from Greville, who served as a clerk to the council and was deeply involved in the political machinations of his time, providing readers with firsthand perspectives on key figures and events that shaped British society. The opening of the memoir introduces the complex political landscape of the early 1850s, highlighting divisions within the Liberal Party and the power dynamics among prominent politicians such as Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, and Disraeli. Greville discusses the aftermath of the Duke of Wellington's funeral, the implications of crucial government decisions, and the state of national defenses, all framed by lively descriptions of interactions and correspondence among political leaders. This initial section sets the stage for a detailed exploration of major themes such as the formation of governments, internal party conflicts, and significant legislative developments during a pivotal decade in British history.
