Excerpt from Random Recollections of the House of Lords: From the Year 1830 to 1836, Including Personal Sketches of the Leading Members The almost unprecedented success which the Author's work on the other House of Parliament has met with, has naturally induced him to lay the present volume before the public He hopes it will, not only from the nature of the subject, but from the spirit in which it has been written, be found a suitable companion to "Random Recollections of the House of Commons." His great object has been to preserve the strictest impartiality in his various Sketches, and he trusts he has, in this respect, been successful. He also hopes the volume will be found fully as interesting as his work on the other House of Parliament.
