Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book makes available a series of previously unpublished letters from British Prime Minister, George Hamilton Gordon, to John Wilson Croker, Secretary to the Admiralty. Their 160 pages of correspondence, covering the period 1828-1852, explore political topics of the time, including the settlement of the US border. William Pitt and Earl of Aberdeen also feature prominently. A remarkable historical series of letters from a noble writer renowned for his love of justice, honesty, and simplicity. The author's appearance as a reviewer for the Edinburgh Review prompted Byron's inclusion in English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, and Aberdeen went on to become Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Foreign Secretary, and Prime Minister under Gladstone.
