"The Greville Memoirs, Part 2 (of 3), Volume 1 (of 3)" by Charles Greville is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the journal of Greville, who served as Clerk of the Council, chronicling the events and political atmosphere during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1852. It offers readers a detailed insight into the political landscape of Victorian England, featuring key figures and significant political events of the time. At the start of the memoirs, Greville reflects on the death of King William IV and the accession of Queen Victoria, noting the relatively calm transition of power. As he recounts the Queen's early days on the throne, he emphasizes her character and capability, contrasting it with the political dynamics following her ascension. The memoir details the political ramifications of the new reign, including discussions around major legislation and the early influences on Victoria as she navigates her role amidst the challenges presented by the Whigs and Tories, as well as her relationship with Prime Minister Lord Melbourne. Overall, it sets the stage for a fascinating exploration of governance, society, and the personal insights of someone embedded in the political fabric of the era.
