Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Retired Diplomat On attaining the age which an inscrutable law, not of nature but man, has fixed as the precise limit of efficiency in the public service - and the commencement of mental decrepitude - I was "permitted" to resign; whereupon my friends insisted that I should not allow over forty years´ experiences in Europe, the Near and Far Easts, as well as Far West, to go unrecorded, my protestations that such a task was not possible to me, under the circumstance that I never kept a journal or entered a note, being treated simply with scorn. I have, therefore, no alternative but to comply - although conscious that the necessity of steering clear of the many shoals, in the form of diplomatic indiscretions, which surround me, must materially detract from the interest of my narrative. I shall commence with the very earliest days of my existence, before I was conscious of what was passing around me, which obliges me to have recourse to the testimony of others.
