MEMORIES
By the Right Hon. LORD REDESDALE G.C.V.O., K.C.B.
In two handsome volumes, 32s. net.
With numerous illustrations.
“A very charming book, written by a man who was born some months before Queen Victoria came to the throne, yet it contains not a word of ‘twaddle’; its genuine modesty leaves no room for mock modesty, and it is never for a moment dull. He has been everywhere and seen everything. He has travelled far and wide, East and West: he has known many Courts and Princes. It is useless to attempt analogies of this vast and varied treasury, social, historical, political, personal.”—Times.
“At length this much-talked-of book is in our possession and it will cause no disappointment. It is a work of genuine and serious interest, curiously varied in its point of view, and supremely graceful in tone and form. It will be permanently studied as a contribution to literature and history.”—Mr. Edmund Gosse in the Fortnightly Review.
“One of the best books of the last five years. Lord Redesdale’s ‘Memories’ are not merely interesting, they are indispensable.”—Daily Telegraph.
