Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Many Memories of Many People
The destruction of my old home in Hyde Park Gate induced me to write down some recollections of the society once gathered within its walls. A'small part of these memoranda appeared in the New Review in the spring of 1893. I was asked by many of those whose attention they attracted to expand them into a book, and the following pages are the result.
The many distinguished people whom I had the happiness of knowing naturally group themselves round the central figure of my father, and in most cases, as they were his contemporaries, disappeared with him. Others, however, whom he knew in his later years, were spared to us for some time longer, as will be seen towards the end of this book.
