Thomas Creevey (1768-1838) was a Whig politician, diarist and
letter-writer, whose papers provide an important source for the
history of the early nineteenth century. Although a relatively poor
man, he was adept at making friends with important people, and
received hospitality and financial help from them. His letters are
full of gossip, often indiscreet, giving a vivid picture of the
society and politics of the day. They form an interesting
comparison with the papers of his contemporaries, J. W. Croker, who
as a Tory was in power for most of the period in question, and
Charles Greville (both available in this series). Living in
Brussels at the time of Waterloo, Creevey is perhaps best
remembered for his description of life there during Napoleon's
'Hundred Days'. This two-volume work edited by Sir Herbert Maxwell
(1845-1937) was first published in 1903. Volume 1 covers the
Napoleonic Wars and the Regency.
