He would have consulted his quiet more by leaving the author to bear the blame of his own scandal." Notwithstanding this adverse judgment, Mr.Murray was disposed to buy the Memoirs.

Lord Holland drove a very hard bargain, and endeavoured to obtain better terms from other publishers, but he could not, and eventually Mr.Murray paid to Lord Waldegrave, through Lord Holland, the sum of L2,500 on November 1, 1821, for the Waldegrave and Walpole Memoirs.

They were edited by Lord Holland, who wrote a preface to each, and were published in the following year, but never repaid their expenses.

After suffering considerable loss by this venture, Mr.
Murray's rights were sold, after his death, to Mr.Colburn.
The last of the _memoires pour servir_ to which we shall here refer was the Letters of the Countess of Suffolk, bedchamber woman to the Princess of Wales (Caroline of Anspach), and a favourite of the Prince of Wales, afterwards George II.

The Suffolk papers were admirably edited by Mr.
Croker.
