John Gibson Lockhart to John Wilson Croker, 16 December 1846: 'H[enry]. B[rougham]. spoke with bitterness [...] of Lord John [?Bedford] -- he said he had read his preface to Bedford letters, vol.iii, and thought it very poor -- but I found he had [italics]not[end italics] read it to the end, for he knew nothing of the only remarkable part of it, the little disquisition on [italics]party[end italics]. I think he has merely read the [italics]note[end italics] on one of his own productions; and I doubt if he ever reads anything but what is written by or about himself!'
