About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Life of Viscount Palmerston by Lloyd Charles Sanders. Read in English by Pamela Nagami. This is a short life of Henry John Temple (1784-1865), Third Viscount Palmerston, Great Britain's affable, able, and always available Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary, and Prime Minister. Sanders writes that by 1841 Palmerston "had raised the prestige of England throughout Europe to a height which it had not occupied since Waterloo. He created Belgium, saved Portugal and Spain from absolutism, rescued Turkey from Russia, and the highway to India from France." (Pamela Nagami)
