485. Melbourne, by David Cecil (read 8 Oct 1955) This is one of the better biographies I had read as of the time when I read it, although it is not footnoted and I rather like footnoted biographies. But this book is a less "constructed" seeming book than a footnoted biography. Melbourne died at 6 P.M. on Nov 25, 1848. He was prime minister from 1834 to 1835 and from 1836 to 1841, He was a character, but not especially admirable in his policies. ( )
