_FURTHER MEMORIES_ 11th LARGE EDITION. MEMORIES By the Right Hon. LORD REDESDALE G.C.V.O., K.C.B. _In two handsome volumes, 32s. net._ _With numerous illustrations._ “A very charming book, written by a man who was born some months before Queen Victoria came to the throne, yet it contains not a word of ‘twaddle’; its genuine modesty leaves no room for mock modesty, and it is never for a moment dull. He has been everywhere and seen everything. He has travelled far and wide, East and West: he has known many Courts and Princes. It is useless to attempt analogies of this vast and varied treasury, social, historical, political, personal.”—_Times._ “At length this much-talked-of book is in our possession and it will cause no disappointment. It is a work of genuine and serious interest, curiously varied in its point of view, and supremely graceful in tone and form. It will be permanently studied as a contribution to literature and history.”—Mr. Edmund Gosse in the _Fortnightly Review_. “One of the best books of the last five years. Lord Redesdale’s ‘Memories’ are not merely interesting, they are indispensable.”—_Daily Telegraph._ London: HUTCHINSON & CO.
