Excerpt from The Prime Ministers of Queen Victoria Lord Palmerston's long and busy life extended over more than eighty years, and fur nearly sixty of those years he was almost continuously in office. He left behind him an enormous amount of correspondence, official and private, and considerable manuscript material dealing with his actions and opinions. This being so, in the preparation of this brief life the plan has been deliberately chosen of allowing him to speak, wherever this could be done, and thus indicate in his own way, at all prominent points in his career, the objects and motives that, influenced him. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that he lived too near the present time to allow of the publication of much that he wrote. Although it is undesirable to repeat what has been already so well told by Lord Dalling and Mr. Evelyn Ashley, it has been impossible to avoid occasionally traversing the same ground.
