Sinopsis
Excerpt from Random Reminiscences
I have endeavoured in these random reminiscences to avoid an error into which the autobiographer is prone to fall - that of taking himself, his actions, and his thoughts too seriously. I am not aware that I have included in this volume anything which appears to me of importance; I trust that I have not, either, committed the impertinence of expressing any views.

One of my grandfathers used to tell a story of an old Quaker who lived in the North of England about a hundred years ago. One morning, as he sat in his study, his son burst into the room clad in a scarlet coat with his hunting-cap cocked on one side. The young man half seated himself on the corner of the writing-table, set his arms akimbo, swung his leg defiantly, and exclaimed, 'Father, I'm an atheist, and I don't care who knows it!' The old man looked up from his work, Pushed his spectacles on to his forehead, and then replied in measured tones, 'Well, John, if tha beest, tha needst not mak' sic a Tom-fool o' thasel'!'

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of random reminiscences and anecdotes from the life of a prominent figure in the Victorian era. Set against the backdrop of the author's education, social circles, and travels, the stories offer a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes in Britain and France, their customs, and their ways of thinking. The author, who was well-acquainted with many of the literary greats of his time such as Tennyson and Dickens, provides unique insights into their personal lives and personalities. We learn about the author's time at Westminster School and the privileges and traditions of the institution, as well as the author's experience attending a thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral in the presence of two Archbishops. This book offers a glimpse into the richness of life and culture during this period of history through the eyes of a discerning observer.
