The dinner in question, Lord Rothschild informs me, must have taken place at the business-house in New Court, St. Swithin's Lane, where, on a foreign post night (Tuesdays and Fridays), it was Baron Rothschild's custom to remain in the city until midnight and frequently to give dinner-parties.--T.] [Footnote 169: Baron Salomon Mayer de Rothschild (1774-1855), head of the Vienna branch of the house of Rothschild.
