| Summary | "The Greville Memoirs, Part 3 (of 3), Volume 2 (of 2)" by Charles Greville is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a journal reflecting on the reign of Queen Victoria, specifically covering the years from 1852 to 1860. The author, who was a Clerk of the Council, provides insights into the political and social currents during this period, including key figures like Lord Palmerston, Mr. Disraeli, and various international relations involving France, Russia, and other nations. The opening of this volume introduces the complex political landscape of Europe during the mid-19th century, as Greville details various diplomatic negotiations, the dynamics of the Crimean War, and the shifting public perceptions regarding peace and war. Starting with the discussions surrounding peace treaties with Russia and the implications of France's role, Greville's narrations include personal observations as well as accounts of conversations with prominent figures, shedding light on the sense of urgency and uncertainty prevalent at the time. The memoir sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of political maneuvering, international diplomacy, and the repercussions these had on national sentiment and governance.
