NOTE TO THIS VOLUME.
In dealing with a period of comparatively recent date, I have been dependent in several instances upon the courtesy of the proprietors of the copyright. I acknowledge with many thanks the kind permission of Mr. Henry Gladstone to quote the extracts from Lord Morley’s Life of Gladstone on pp. 75, 78, 83. I also acknowledge with thanks the kindness of Messrs. Macmillan and Co. for granting permission to reprint the extracts from the Life of Professor Huxley on p. 87, and from Ashley’s Life of Lord Palmerston on pp. 33, 50; of Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co. for the extract from the Diary of Henry Greville on p. 32; of Mr. Edward Arnold for the extract from Leader’s Life of Roebuck on p. 65; of Messrs. Chapman and Hall for the extracts from Reid’s Life of Forster on pp. 81, 89. I acknowledge also with thanks the kind permission of the proprietors of Punch for the extracts on pp. 37, 103; and of the proprietors of The Times, Illustrated London News, and Brighton Herald for the various extracts from those journals.
I am also indebted to Messrs. Longmans, Green and Co. for permission to reprint the extracts on pp. 12, 25 from the Greville Memoirs; also to Mr. John Murray for similar permission to reprint the extracts from the Letters of Queen Victoria on pp. 17, 30, and the Life of the Duke of Argyll on p. 41.
