Nevill, Dorothy, lady. Reminiscences of Lady Dorothy Nevill. ed. by Ralph Nevill. *$4.20. Longmans.
Lady Dorothy Nevill, daughter of Horatio Walpole, now eighty years old, goes back in her reminiscences to England of the ’thirties. “During a long life—she began to keep a diary in 1840—she has known ‘everybody,’ as the phrase goes; has been on the best of terms with princes, peers, parsons, and peasants; has dabbled in literature and seen much of literary men and women; has enjoyed political meetings and race meetings almost equally; has seen every play and made friends with all the prominent players. But she has never made systematic notes, or kept a journal for long together, so that her reminiscences are what they pretend to be—stories or impressions called to mind after a long lapse of time.” (Lond. Times.)
