[Gutenberg 61959] • Anglo-American Memories

Excerpt from Anglo-American Memories

AS these Memories now make their appeal to an English audience, it is right to say that they were written in the first instance for Americans and have appeared week by week each Sunday in the A'ew York Tribune. This may be evident enough from the way in which some subjects are dealt with. But they must stand in great part as they were written since the book is published both in London and New York. They are, in some slight degree, autobiographical, but only so far as is necessary to explain my relations with those men and women of whom I have written, or with the great journal, the New York Tribune, 1 so long served. But they are mainly concerned with men of exceptional mark and position in America and in Europe whom lhave met, and with events of which I had some personal knowledge. There is no attempt at a consecutive story.
