Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Croker Papers, Vol. 1 of 3: The Correspondence and Diaries of the Late Right Honourable John Wilson Croker, Secretary to the Admiralty From 1809 to 1830
The letters of Mr. Croker from 1811 to about 1833 were chie?y to be found in twenty-eight large volumes; from 1833 to 1857, they were scattered in great disorder through scores of bundles of miscellaneous documents, most of which yielded nothing likely to prove attractive to the general reader. But mingled With tax receipts, appeals for alms and loans, friendly invitations, applications for office, and formal notes on business affairs, were many letters of the highest political importance, and others of almost equal value relating to the social and literary life of the first half of the present century.
