PRIVATE AND INTIMATE
This book follows the lines of the author’s works on Egypt and India, consisting mainly of a private diary of a very intimate kind, and will bring down his narrative of events to the end of 1885.
The present volume is designed especially as an answer to Lord Cromer’s Modern Egypt, in so far as it concerned Gordon, and contains several important and hitherto unpublished documents throwing new light upon a case of perennial interest.
It also includes an account of the author’s relations with Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Mr Gladstone, Mr Parnell, and other political personages of the day, as well as of the General Election of 1885, in which the author stood as a Tory Home Ruler.
