Excerpt from Essays on the Administrations of Great Britain From 1783 to 1830 During Sir George Lewis's life-time, many persons, in cluding the accomplished author of the Life of Pitt, expressed to him the wish that the Essays now brought together in this volume might be published in a collective form. N 0 one but the author could have done this as he would have wished it to be done: my part has been simply that. Of endeavouring to place them before the reader in the best shape which they can now assume with out his revision and superintendence. The reader will remember that the articles themselves do not profess to give a continuous narrative, or to contain a complete history of the period to which they relate. They are, in fact, a commentary on the ministerial history of England, and they require to be read with a certain previous knowledge of the general outline of that history. In the Review, for want of space, passages were omitted, and notes and references were curtailed. Where the original proofs exist (which is not the case with all the articles), these passages and notes have been restored. On the other hand, the text of the Review, where it differs from that of the proof, has, as a general rule, been considered as embodying the author's last corrections, and expressing his final opinions.
