A popular edition of the biography of Quintin Hogg which sketches his life and work in the London slums. See volume one of the Book Review Digest.
“The book is too long and contains much that is trivial and unworthy of publication, but as a whole it is a stimulating account of a noble, self-sacrificing life.”

On the stage which is created by these memoirs, Prince Bismarck is well to the fore. “Prince Hohenlohe says very characteristically that while Bismarck was in power he dominated all, but after his retirement other and smaller personalities swelled like sponges. The light shed on the negotiations preceding the Franco-Prussian war are of historical value. The account of the plenipotentiaries who met to discuss what afterward became the Treaty of Berlin is described with acuteness of vision, and there are many other portions of the book that cannot fail to command attention.” (Acad.)
“Students of politics will no doubt toil conscientiously through the nine hundred odd pages, but we question whether any one will make this exploration for pleasure.”
