Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Later Peeps at Parliament: Taken From Behind the Speaker´s Chair The friendly reception that welcomed the appearance of earlier Peeps at Parliament was occasionally varied by criticism directed against their point of view. It was complained that the reader, anticipating introduction to scenes in the current Parliament, found himself stranded on a shore passed by at dates going back for ten years. I must plead absence of responsibility for this disappointment. The several notes were avowedly written under the dates given. Their chief value, such as it is, is their touch with contemporary events, recorded as they passed. The advantage of this method of presenting Parliamentary history is strikingly shown in the work of my colleague F. C. G. He has drawn Parliament men as they flitted through the scenes enacted, and described in this and the preceding volume, during the decade dating from 1893. The passage of ten years brings changes to all men. Looking over these pages in proof, I confess I am struck by the difference in the personal appearance of old acquaintances who still hold place in the Parliament of to-day. Of course, those still with us have gained in dignity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
