" in the House of Commons & thus we should pledge to Parliament against the measure . " any very lively interest in the question .

His first premiership ended when he was dismissed by King William IV in 1834 the last British prime minister to be dismissed by a monarch. Five months later he was re-appointed and served for six more years into the reign of Queen Victoria. He is best known for coaching the Queen in the ways of politics acting almost as her private secretary. Historians do not rank Melbourne's tenure as prime minister favourably as he had no great foreign wars or domestic issues to handle and he was involved in several political scandals in the early years of Victoria's reign.
