TO 



SECOND EDITION OF VOLUME I. 



MANY inquiries having been made as to the dates 

 at which these Memoirs were written, the following 

 memorandum on the subject is supplied by the pre- 

 sent Lord Brougham : 



"On Saturday, 5th October 1861, Lord Brougham, 

 then in his SUh year (for he was 83 on the 19th 

 September 1861), began with me, at Brougham, to 

 look out all the letters and papers relating to the 

 Princess Charlotte, the Princess of Wales, and the 

 Queen's Trial. On TUESDAY, 8TH OCTOBER, he began 

 to write upon that subject. 



"On Thursday the 17th, the narrative of the Trial, 

 and all that related to his connection with the Prin- 

 cess of Wales and her daughter, was sketched out. 



"On the 29th November we went to Cannes, tak- 

 ing with us all letters and papers, which were there 

 copied and arranged with the narrative.
