Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lord Glenesk and the "Morning Post" By the favour of Lord Glenesk´s daughter, Countess Bathurst, I have been permitted to undertake the task of writing this memoir. When a man has spent fifty years in journalism, politics, and society, the record of bis life must assuredly be full of interest; whether that interest has been successfully reproduced here is another matter. The biographer must be prepared to receive judgment according to his own merits, not those of his subject. I have to express my dutiful recognition of the permission granted by His Majesty King Edward to refer to the private conversation of Queen Victoria; also my respectful thanks for leave given by the ex-Empress of the French to describe the personal relations that existed between Lord Glenesk and the Imperial Family. The lamented death of Mr E. E. Peacock, the Manager of the Morning Post, deprived me of a continuance of the kind and valuable assistance and advice which be was always ready to afford me; but I remain indebted to Mr M. T. Ferguson, who has ungrudgingly placed at my disposal his intimate acquaintance with the affairs and records of the paper.
