“Visit to Inveraray . . . and after lunch we went into the large drawing-room next door to where we had lunched in 1847, when Lorne was only two years old. And now I return, alas! without my beloved husband, to find Lorne my son-in-law!” This passage, which occurs on page 291, is referred to, with a comment, by Miss Savage in a letter to Butler, 18th Nov. 1884. (Memoir I. 429.)

V. BOOKS FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF SAMUEL BUTLER
Butler wrote to Robert Bridges, 6 Feb. 1900, “I have, I verily believe, the smallest library of any man in London who is by way of being literary.” (Memoir, II., 320.)
Cf. no. 9 in Section I. Pictures, “Interior of Butler’s sitting-room,” where part of his library is shown. The rest of his books were in a cupboard between his sitting-room and his painting-room. They all passed under the residuary bequest in his will to his nephew, Henry Thomas Butler, who gave them to me. Some were taken by Streatfeild, his literary executor, and some few were lost in transitu; the remainder are here.

Allen, Grant. Charles Darwin. By Grant Allen. (English Worthies.) London, 1885.
Butler was asked to review this, but declined on the ground that there was too strong a personal hostility between both Darwin and Grant Allen and himself to make it possible for him to review the book without a bias against it. (Memoir, II. 28.)
