A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My first familiar acquaiiitanee mth the Duke of Wellington took its rise from a Mghly favourable and partial account which he received of a speech which I made against the Eeform BU lia the House of Commons, March 22, 1831 the second time that I spoke in Parliament. After this I saw the Duke not unfrequently, and I had several conversations with him upon politics. I did not, however, take any notes of the Dukes conversations unt Uthe close of October, when I met him for some days ia Suffolk on a visit to the Marquis of Hertford. Subsequently I went to pass some weeks with my grandfather. Lord Carrington, at Deal Castle; and I was then a near neighbour to the Duke at Walmer. These notes were in all cases but once in A pril 1838 written or dictated by me to Lady Mahon either on the same day or at furthest the day after the conversations which they record; and I have never noted anything when not quite sure of remembering it exactly. I can therefore vouch in the most confident manner for the certain accuracy of what I have here set down.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
