Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Paget Papers, Vol. 1 of 2: Diplomatic and Other Correspondence of the Right Hon. Sir Arthur Paget, G. C. B., 1794-1807; (With Two Appendices 1808 and 1821-1829)
Before proceeding further, however, I may as well recount what I know of my father's life before he entered the diplomatic profession. It has come to me, partly through the present letters and partly as a sort of family tradition, some of it indeed having been related by my father himself in my own hearing. I only wish that I had had greater Opportunities, during my own youthful days, of acquiring a fuller knowledge both of his early and his later career, and of deriving all the benefit I might have done, in times gone by, from his great experience, ability, and knowledge of the world.
