IN preparing short memoira of statesmen who h,ve so recently departed from among U8 that no complete Lives of them have yet heen written, the writer who travels beyond those records of their actions which are supplied by ordinary books of reference. reviews, and newspapers, can rely only on such communica­ tions as friend. or relatives may be willing to con. tribute without prejudice to the claims of the future biographer, for whom, of course, all papers and cor· respondence p089essing any real valne are most properly reserved. In the case of men whose careers have heen thoroughly. explored, the author of a volume like the preseni has nothing to do bnt to reo produce what is already known in as concise and popular a style as he is ahle to command, or, in" other words, to reduce a life-size portr!,it to a miniature. I do not mean to Bay that, even 80, the task is an easy one; hnt it can be done in a library; the author bas all his material. -before him; and knowl vi PREFATORY NOTE.

•from the beginning exactly what he has got to put into tbe Gook which he is writing.• But in default of .uch accessible know ledge, he hal to do all his work for himself. Many application. must be made, With the fear of being considered troublesome constantly before his eyes; and in all his interco1!l"Be, even with the most communicative, he w.ill find that tbere are many inqniries whic~ he cannot push beyond a certain point. I, myself, have experienced nothing but kindness and courtesy from snch relatives and colleagues of the late Lord Derby as I was in a posi­ tion to address J yet I cannot help feeling that the book is still imperfect, though with tbe assistance I have received it sbould at least be free from error. From those who acted with Lord Derby in pUblic life I have received some political information of considerable interest; and I am particularly in­ debted to Admiral Wyndham Homby, wbo lived with Lord Derby nearly thirty years on term. of the closest intimacy, for numerous anecdote. of hi. con­ duct and hi. habits in private life, wbicb, even when I have not been permitted to repeat them, have formed ingredients in my general estimate of Lord Dorby's character. I have to tbank the Hon. F. S. LlijVley for the few facts which I bave given belong­ ing to Lord Derby'. connection with the turf J and also for one or two amusing stories, in which tbe part assigued to Lord Derby i ••aid by tbose who knew him best to be so extremely characteristic of bim tbat no apology is required ior inserting them. Last, but PREFATORY: NOTE. vii • not least, I may mention my friend Mr. E. Walford, whose collection or. notes have been most· service­ ahle. The -published works from which information is to be obtained, independently of periodical literature, are the Croker Papers, the Correspondence of William the Fourth and Lord' Grey; the Greville Memoirs, which, nowever, must be read with caution; the Life of Lord Lyndhurst, by Sir Theodore Martio; Lord Malmesbury's Diary in "Memoirs of an Ex- 1\1 inister "; the Life of Lord Melbourne, by Mr. JlI'Cullagh Torrens; the Life of Lord Palmerston, by Lord Dalling and the Hon. Evelyn Ashley; the Lire of the Prince Consort; the Dispatches of the Duke of Wellington; and the Life of Bishop Wilber­ force. But it must be remembered that I come before, not after, tbe "ates sacer, whoever he may be. who is destined to give u. a full and perfect portraiture of the great Patrician, to sound all the depths and shallows of hi. very blended character, and to show the man as he really was, stripped of all conventionalities.
