Charles Cavendish Fulke Greville (1794 1865) was one of the most
important English political and social diarists. Clerk to the Privy
Council for over forty years, he mixed with all the great political
names of the day, including Wellington, Melbourne, Palmerston and
Peel. Greville was fascinated by people, and a great collector of
information, believing that 'there is always something to be
learned from everybody if you touch them on the points they know'.
Greville always intended his diaries to be published after his
death. They appeared in eight volumes between 1874 and 1887, and
form an important historical source for the first half of the
nineteenth century. Volume 5 begins with the election of 1841, and
includes war in Afghanistan and continuing political trouble in
Ireland. The volume continues to the end of 1846, and includes the
fall of Sir Robert Peel over the Corn Law Bill.
