Note 17 — Chapter I

For the life of my grandfather, I have relied upon his autobiography and upon the following among other works: Life of the late James Stephen by his son, Sir George Stephen, Victoria, 1875 (this little book, written when the author's memory was failing, is full of singular mistakes, a fact which I mention that I may not be supposed to have overlooked the statements in question but which it is needless to prove in detail); Jottings from Memory (two interesting little pamphlets privately printed by Sir Alfred Stephen in 1889 and 1891); and Wilberforce's Life and Letters (containing letters and incidental references). In Colquhoun's Wilberforce, his Friends and his Times (1886), pp. 180-198, is an account of Stephen's relations to Wilberforce, chiefly founded upon this. See also Roberts' Hannah More (several letters); Brougham's Speeches (1838), i. pp. 402-414 (an interesting account partly quoted in Sir J. Stephen's Clapham Sect, in Essays in Ecclesiastical Biography); Henry Adam's History of the United States (1891), iii. pp. 50-52 and elsewhere; Walpole's Life of Perceval.
