CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITS:

Men of My Day in Public Life. By the Rt. Hon. Sir Algernon West, Author of “Recollections,” “One City and Many Men.” With many Illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth.

18s. net.

Sir Algernon West, at one time secretary to Mr. Gladstone when Prime Minister, and who has filled a number of important official positions, is well qualified by his personal experience and the number of his acquaintances in the upper regions of the official world to write this book, which includes reminiscences of Sir Louis Mallet, Lord Blachford, Lord Sandford, Sir E. May, Lord Welby, Matthew Arnold, Sir E. Bradford, and many others. Sir Algernon West, as his previous work shows, is a delightful raconteur, and the present is one of the most informing and charming he has written.
