Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Men and Manner in Parliament
Mr. Wilson himself has testified in later years to the in?uence Lucy's pictures of the Chamber at Westminster had on his broadening thought.
Constitutional modesty is embarrassed at finding my name bracketed with the masters in literature at whose feet sat the youth who was destined in course of time to achieve in the world's history a place among Presidents of the United States second only to that of Washing ton. The biographer's statement has, however, been confirmed by Mr. Woodrow. Wilson, who, in a charming letter addressed to me shortly after he was installed at the White House, wrote: I shall always think of you as one of my instructors. Hearing of the incident, the 'lord Mayor was good enough to invite me to meet the President at the luncheon given in his honour at the Mansion House during his visit to London last January.
I found a convenient opportunity in course of the banquet to pay a Visit to the table at which the President sat in company with Mr. Lloyd George.' The Prime Minister presented me, and the President welcomed me with heartiest handshake and gracious assurance that few incidents in the course of his visit to London had exceeded the pleasure with which he met his early instructor.
