Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from James Hope Moulton
There are certain obvious drawbacks attaching to Memoirs, or Appreciations, written by relatives; and no one is more conscious of that fact than I am. The only plea I would put forward in extenua tion is that a greater drawback would have been risked if the book had not been written by me - namely, that it might not have been written at all! And so I risk the drawbacks rather than leave my brother's many friends without any record, however imperfect, of his life or estimate of his personality and influence.
