Lord Brougham and others : 'The Reformed Ministry and the Reformed Parliament' (extracts)
Sir Robert Peel to John Wilson Croker, 29 September 1833: 'Strange as it may seem, I have not read nor have I seen the Ministerial pamphlet. I saw some extracts from it in the newspapers, which sated my appetite for such reading.'

John Wilson Croker : article on Robespierre
John Wilson Croker to Sir Robert Peel, 7 October 1835: 'I am glad you like Robespierre. It is only an essay, which you put me upon, and which I wrote at the seaside without a single book but the "Liste des Condamnes." When I came home I spent a couple of days in verifying, as far as I could, my recollections; but it is miserably short of what it ought to have been, and even of what it would have been, if I had written it at leisure and among my books.'

: 'Handbook'
Sir Robert Peel to John Murray, 7 July 1840: 'I forgot to thank you for the last edition of the Handbook, but I have found leisure to look into it, and have read many parts of it with great interest. It is really a useful and amusing work for those who do not travel. Do not you think that a very interesting work might be written, to be entitled, "A Historical Account of the Celebrated Villas in the Neighbourhood of London? I mean rather the villas that [italics]have[end italics] been, rather than those that now exist [makes various suggestions of villas for inclusion] [...] Perhaps I overrate the interest with which such a book would be read. I certainly do not, if it would equal that with which I myself read the account of places in the neighbourhood of Paris, remarkable in history, but the traces of many of which are fast fading away'.
