Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of My Own Time The Quarterly Review, after stating that I have egregiously mistaken the amount of my resources and of my ability, compares me, for incapacity and self-importance, to P. P. Clerk of this Parish, whose Memoirs furnish so much ludicrous entertainment in the works of Pope: while the British Critic characterizes the book as mere gossip, and languid iinbecility. It would not become me to appreciate the rank which my own understanding holds in the scale of intellect: but, either the public does not think so meanly of the Historical Memoirs, and their author, or they manifest a most incorrigible oh stinacy and inattention to the friendly admonitions reiterated by their literary guides, who exert every endeavour to prevent their readers from throwing away eighteen shillings on a new edi tion in octavo of the daily advertiser. Now I can assure these gentlemen, that the first edition of this imbecile work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Posthumous Memoirs of His Own Time Never, I believe, did any literary work procure for its author a more numerous list of powerful and inveterate enemies, than were produced by those Memoirs of my own Time. The queen, the regent, and the princesses of the royal family, far from being satis fied with a portrait of George the Third, which, if it errs, can only be censured for presenting a too favourable likeness, were incensed at the freedom with which I had commented on the peace of 1763, aswell as at the personal disclosures respecting the king himself, scattered throughout the memoirs. As little did the admirers or fol lowers of Pitt approve my picture of that minister, though, in my opinion, rather a flattering resemblance: while Fox's partisans exhi bited the most violent resentment at my strictures on his moral, as well as on his political character. The just and impartial likeness of Charles Jenkinson displeased the first lord of the treasury, his son. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of His Own Time, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration The inaccuracy and want of truth in the multi tude of private Memoirs, with which we have been inundated, and with which cotemporary history was in a manner overwhelmed, had inspired me with insurmountable disgust. It seemed to me that my testimony would be a useless and slender tribute, and would be lost in that chaos into which so many rash Opinions, so many false statements, so many calumnies, dictated by the spirit of' re venge, will perhaps never suffer the light of truth to penetrate. In fact the number of those Memoirs is but very inconsiderable of which my honorable friend, the count de Segur, has given us so perfect a model. In venturing to imitate him. I yield to his counsels as well as to his warm solicitations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of My Own Times, Vol. 2 of 3 As I am now about to enter, Mr. President, as faras Remarks may be practicable, into a detailed examination of all the 0325133? Evidence before the court, relative to the specifications of'suidity of the lst and 2d charges, there Is one genel al remark that figfizfig occurs to me, as applicable to every part of it, which I Wilkinson hope you may constantly heal in mind. The particular gypsy? Circumstance to which I allude, Is this; that, while I am pensioner. Charged with having been In the regular receipt Of a sti pend from the court of Spain, and various sums have been specified to have been paid for me, on account of a pension fromthe year 1789 down to the year 1804 inclu sive, it is worthy of Observation, that neither in the whole course of that period, nor at any other time, amidst the frequent temptations Of a crisis, in which the interests Of Spain and the United States have been brought into col lision, has it been proved, or even attempted to be proved, that I have ever taken a single step, calculated to pro mote or gratify the views Of Spain; or that I have, di rectly or indirectly, rendered any service to the Spanish government, in return for the thousands and tens Of thou sands Of dollars, which it is represented they were SO prof fusely squandering for my benefit and aggrandisement.

Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of My Own Time, Vol. 3 of 3: Part the First, From 1772 to 1780; Part the Second, From January, 1781, to March, 1782; Part the Third, From March, 1782, to March, 1784 The younger Portion of Society scarcely remembered any other Minister than Lord North; and Lord Sandwich had presided nearly as long at the Head of the Admiralty. To the King, the former of those Noblemen was endeared by almost every personal Quality or Circumstance which could render him acceptable in the Closet, as well as useful in his public Capacity. More than twelve Years of almost daily Intercourse, amidst Scenes of perpetual Disquietude and Alarm, had cemented by the Effect of Habit, the other Motives for royal Predilection. It may indeed be reasonably doubted, whether even Lord Bute's Resignation affected the Sovereign so deeply or so painfully, as Lord North's Retreat. Mr. Grenville's Administration was regarded by many Persons, as a Continuation of the preceding Ministry, under another Name; whereas in 1782, the King could only anticipate a complete Surrender. The Individuals, the Measures, the Reductions contemplated, accompanied with the total Renunciation of Sovereignty over the revolted Colonies; - all were alike odious, or disagreeable to the King.
