The Papers of Admiral George Grey presents the memoir, journal, and correspondence of George Grey, son of the Whig prime minister the Earl Grey. By documenting the Grey family's experience of the Whig ministry of 1830-34 and George Grey's own naval career - which took him from the Battle of Navarino during the Greek War of Independence to decisive surveys of the Falkland Islands, and then to the capital cities of South America during their pivotal early decades of independence - this volume sheds new light on the political, diplomatic, naval, and imperial histories of the early and mid-nineteenth century.
