Publisher's Synopsis

I wish to thank Mrs. Frank Parish for lending me the picture of Mrs. Henry Parish; and my mother, Lady Shuttleworth, for the loan of Sir Woodbine Parish's miniature. Mr. Wilbraham Villiers Cooper very kindly lent me the medals struck at Napoleon's mint: they formed part of the late Canon Cooper's collection.
Finally, I am indebted to Mr. Leonard Huxley for much useful advice.
