This edition contains the coniplete text as published in the three volumes 
of the English edition. 
“« The sensation created by these Memoirs, on their first appearance, was not out of 
proportion to their real interest. They relate to a period of our history second only in 
importance to the Revolution of 1688; they portray manners which have now disap- 
peared from society, yet have disappeared so recently that middle-aged men can recol- 
lect them; and they concern the conduct 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 con- 
temporaneous.”’—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 pos- 
terity 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 abridg- 
ment, 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. Ina 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.” —Phzladelphia Press. 
‘‘ These are a few among many illustrations of the pleasant, gossipy information con- 
veyed in these Memoirs, whose great charm is the free ard straightforward manner in 
which the writer chronicles his impressions of men and events.’”’—Aoston Dazly Globe. 
*« As will be seen, these volumes are of remarkable interest, and fully justify the en- 
comiums that heralded their appearance in this country. They will attract a large cir- 
cle of readers here, who will find in their gossipy pages an almost inexhaustible fund of 
instruction and amusement.’’—Sostou 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 Eng- 
land under the reigns of George IV. and William IV. Its descriptions of those kings 
and their kinsfolk are never likely to be forgotten.” —W. VY. Tzmes.
