Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lord Randolph Churchill, Vol. 1 of 2
I have been fortunate in the abundance Of the materials supplied me. In addition to Lord Randolph Churchill's tin boxes with their ample stores, there was at hand an invaluable series Of scrap-books, containing every conceivable newspaper comment and cartoon, collected by his sister, Lady Wimborne, and covering the whole period of his active political life. But most Of all I am indebted to those many friends, irrespective of political party, who either by allow ing their letters to be printed, or by reading the proof-sheets, have enabled me to compile what may, without presumption, be called an authoritative account. I accept, of course, in the fullest sense, exclusive responsibility for whatever is written here but to Sir Michael hicks-beach, first of all, my grate ful acknowledgments are due, for not only has he with the greatest care and pains thoroughly revised the whole book, but furnished me, besides, with exten sive memoranda in respect Of those chapters with the events Of which he was specially concerned.
