Henry Richard Lord Holland : Foreign Reminiscences
Lord Aberdeen to John Wilson Croker, 21 February 1851: 'In reading Lord Holland's book, which I did very cursorily, I was more struck by its dulness than by any other quality. A senseless hostility to all legitimate Kings and Queens, and a ludicrous exaltation of "[italics]that great Prince[end italics]," Bonaparte, might have been expected; but it is wonderful how little the volume contains which has not either been long well known, or which is not worth knowing [discusses text further]'.
