Présentation de l'éditeur
This monograph could not have been written in the intimate sense if the Dowager Countess Russell had not extended a confidence which, I trust, has in no direction been abused. Lady Russell has not only granted me access to her journal and papers as well as the early note-books of her husband, but in many conversations has added the advantage of her own reminiscences. I am also indebted in greater or less degree to Mrs. Warburton, Lady Georgiana Peel, Lady A gatha Russell, the Hon. Rollo Russell, Mr. G. W. E.- Russell, and the Hon. George Elliot. Mr. Elliot sknowledge, as brother-in-law, and for many years as private secretary, touches both the personal and official aspects of Lord John scareer, and it has been freely placed at my disposal. Outside the circle of Lord John srelatives I have received hints from the Hon. Charles Gore and Sir Villiers Lister, both of whom, at one period or another in his public life, also served him in the capacity of secretary. I have received some details of Lord John sofficial life from one who served under him in a more public capacity not, however, I hasten to add, as Chancellor of the Exchequer but I ani scarcely at liberty in this instance to mention my authority.
