Charles Greville served as Clerk to the Privy Council for nearly four decades, giving him unrivalled access to the inner workings of British government during the reigns of George IV, William IV, and Victoria. His private journal — published posthumously as the Greville Memoirs — is one of the most candid and revealing documents of nineteenth-century British political life.
