_Since the time of Lord Burleigh no one, except the second Pitt,
ever enjoyed so long a tenure of power; with the same exception, no
one ever held office at so critical a time.... Lord Liverpool is
the very last minister who has been able fully to carry out his own
political views; who has been so strong that in matters of general
policy the Opposition could extort no concessions from him which were
not sanctioned by his own deliberate judgment. The present work is
founded almost entirely on the correspondence left behind him by Lord
Liverpool, and now in the possession of Colonel and Lady Catherine
Harcourt._
