THIS WORK is, it is hoped, an improved edition of that 'Life of Lord Palmerston' which has already appeared in five volumes. While, however, it contains many letters already published, and several passages adopted from the former work-the two first volumes of which were by Lord Dalling and Bulwer-some fresh letters have been added and other new matter inserted.

I have, after full consideration, retained the same preponderance of Lord Palmerston's memoranda and correspondence over the text which marked the former publication, because I feel that the proper distinction to be observed between a biography and a history (not always sufficiently remembered) is, that in the former case the events of the day should be subsidiary to their relation to the attitude and opinions of the subject of the memoir. If he has left few papers behind him, the biographer must, perforce, do his best in his own way
