Excerpt from The Victorian Chancellors, Vol. 1 of 2: Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Truro Lord Brougham has fared rather better at his suc cessor's hands the tone of the Life is less spiteful, and there is abundance Of amusing anecdote, coming in some cases from sources which are entitled to credit. It cannot, however, be accepted as a satisfactory picture of one who, with all his failings, was a very great man. Lord Brougham foresaw his fate, and attempted to forestall and mitigate it by preparing his auto biography for publication. The result Of his labours, which appeared in can only be utilised with ex treme caution, and it has verified the prediction of a con temporary critic that while unlikely to be extensively read, it will probably prevent any really good life of Lord Brougham from being written.' It contains letters and documents that are of lasting value; but at the best of times Lord Brougham's recollection of events differed widely from the impression retained by other actors and eyewitnesses. At the date when this autobiographical fragment - for it stops short at the end of 1834 - was put together, neither his mental nor his physical powers were equal to the effort. The arrangement is chaotic, and a vast amount of superfluous matter is introduced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
