In demy 8vo, cloth gilt, 16s. net
With numerous Illustrations
In this fascinating volume the author has chiefly related his recollections of Eton fifty years ago—the Eton of Dr. Hornby, and has added yet another volume to the chronicles of the great school.
It is not easy to describe the varied contents of this book; it suffices, however, to say that it contains much besides these early reminiscences. Mr. Greville supplies the reader from his apparently inexhaustible memories with abundant anecdotes and society sketches during the latter half of Queen Victoria’s reign.
