Excerpt from Leaves From the Diary of Henry Greville Twenty years having elapsed since the publication of my uncle Henry Greville's Journals, I now propose to bring out the remaining volumes, as I think they will prove of much interest, both from a public and social point of view. The Diaries of his brother Charles Greville have almost become a classic, and they are quite a book of reference, and quoted as such by those who study the politics of the last century. Henry Greville's Journals, on the other hand, though written in a lighter vein, contain much interesting matter on the Second Empire, and on the events in Italy which culminated in the rise and progress of the new Kingdom of Italy, which gathered together in one all the different Grand Duchies and Kingdoms of that divided country, under the rule of their first Sovereign, Victor Emmanuel I. It may perhaps be desirable that I should add a few words to the short memoir of my uncle which I prefixed to the first volume of the series, as people are so soon forgotten, and there are hardly any left now of his own generation.
