Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of the Rt. Hon. Spencer Perceval, Vol. 1 of 2: Including His Correspondence With Numerous Distinguished Persons
The great men of that time have, nearly with out exception, had their biographies written. Pitt has found an able biographer in Lord Stanhope; Fox, a warm admirer in Lord Russell; Addington in Pellew; Lord Eldon in Twiss; Lord Wellesley in Pearce: Lord Liverpool in Yonge; Canning in Stapleton; Castlereagh in Sir A. Alison. The Duke of Buckingham's Courts and Cabinets furnishes us with a memoir of Lord Grenville. Wilberforce, Romilly, Abbot, live in their diaries. Of the great party-leaders Of the day, two alone - Perceval and the Duke of Portland - have never had their lives written. The action of the Duke's son, in destroying his father's papers, has probably made it impossible to supply the defect in the one case. This memoir is an attempt to supply it in the other.
