Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences and Letters of Joseph and Arnold Toynbee: Edited by Gertrude Toynbee My only apology for publishing these few reminiscences of my father and brother is that the personal touches they give will, I think, be valued by those who already know enough of them to revere them. Their intellectual side has been dealt with by others, as well as being recorded in their writings. As daughter and sister I have tried to show something of what they were in our home, but their own letters will best reveal this, and my few words can only be of value in so far as they throw light on these. Last year I published a very short sketch of my father´s life which is referred to in some of the letters in this volume. My father was one of fifteen. His own mother died when he was only just over four years old. He spoke with reverence and affection of her, and I got the impression from him that she was a beautiful character. His father was a manly, noble and affectionate nature, greatly respected for his uprightness. He was a gentleman farmer at Heckington, in Lincolnshire. He lived to be over eighty. My father´s eldest brother George was the first Englishman Mazzini knew over here. He had literary gatherings at his rooms in Berners Street every Saturday and Mazzini frequented them.
