Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Past Times and Pastimes, Vol. 1 of 2 When I bethought me to spend the autumn evenings in jotting down reminiscences, I had no desire to write a biography or an outline of history. I could have done so even of it had been my wish, for the material necessary for the purpose was lacking, and I could not view Irish politics with an impartial eye. Nevertheless, when I came to think about politics and events in Ireland, some materials was available, and I have referred to it. In all other respects I had to rely entirely on memory, for the following reason. In the summer of 1894 my yacht Valkyrie II. was in collision with Satanita at Hunter´s Quay on the Clyde, and sank in about four minute. Of course everything went down with her, and, for a long time after, the disappearance of anything was accounted for by "It must have gone down in Valkyrie." About some of the object I had kept did go to the bottom of the sea in over twenty fathoms of water, and I never had the courage to re-write the diary or to start another. I could not, therefore, place events in proper chronological order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
