About this book
A memoir of Charles Philip Yorke, Fourth Earl of Hardwicke, Vice-Admiral R.N., is by his daughter, the Lady Biddulph of Ledbury. The preface says that the author's father, by his will, committed his letters and journals to her care and judgment. The preface also says that the father's life deserves a fuller record than the accounts to be found in biographical works of reference.
One quoted account says that on Tuesday forenoon the 16th a man called upon the writer in great agitation and talked of accepting, but changed his mind again by the evening when he saw the King at the Queen's Palace, and finally declined. A dated entry in the text records being at sea, hove to off the coast of Portugal in the steam packet. The text says that Lord Hardwicke, as Lady Hardwicke writes, immediately wrote to Sir William Parker and obtained from him the following memorable credential.
