[Gutenberg 59538] • Portraits of the Nineties

Excerpt from Portraits of the Nineties

Hutchinson's more recent Portraits of the Eighties form together an invaluable biographical guide to a period second in interest to none in modern history. It is the business of a less distinguished pen to attempt to give some account of leading figures during the last years of the century and of the reign Of Queen Victoria.
