About This Book

The volume compiles the subject's memoirs, private diaries, and correspondence into a narrative that traces his political career, public causes, and domestic life. It reproduces extended passages on Irish, Egyptian, and South African affairs and includes contributed chapters on the British Army and imperial defence. Personal recollections depict a disciplined, work-focused household, a devoted partnership, and a temperament marked by self-effacement, rapid intellect, and practical sympathy for social reform. Editorial notes and contributions from colleagues supply context and fill gaps where the memoirs conclude.
