NOTE

The origin of these reminiscences was the appearance of some papers I contributed to the “Manchester Daily Dispatch” in January of this year. These met with considerable favour, and many readers seemed to think that their story was worthy of being set down in a more permanent fashion. It was to meet this suggestion that I have largely added to and re-written the original essays and published them in book form.
