A Political Diary 1828 to 1830 V2 is a book written by Edward Law, also known as Lord Ellenborough, a British politician and judge who served as the Governor-General of India from 1842 to 1844. The book is a second volume of Law's personal diary, which covers the years 1828 to 1830 and documents his political activities and observations during this time. Throughout the book, Law provides an insider's perspective on the political landscape of early 19th century Britain, including the debates and controversies surrounding the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, which granted political rights to Catholics in the country. He also offers insights into the workings of the British Parliament, as well as the personal relationships and rivalries between prominent politicians of the era.The diary is written in a candid and often humorous style, with Law offering his opinions and criticisms of various individuals and events. He also provides glimpses into his personal life, including his relationships with family members and his own struggles with health issues.Overall, A Political Diary 1828 to 1830 V2 offers a valuable historical record of a pivotal period in British politics, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the life and personality of one of the era's most influential figures.The King was cold. The Duke had to wait twenty minutes, the Duke of Cumberland being with the King. However, I believe this delay may only have originated in a necessary change of dress on His Majesty's part, as he was sitting for his picture in a Highland dress. The Duke saw a large plaid bonnet in the room, and he believes the King had still on plaid stockings. The business of the restoration was finished in ten minutes, when the conversation flagged, and the Duke was rising to go away.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
