Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Random Recollections of Courts and Society
Tradition is the diary of nations, Memory is the diary of individuals. Neither are implicitly to be trusted as long as they are not supplemented by written words or confirmed by subsequent events. Believe nothing that you hear, and only half you see, is an axiom admirably adapted to actuality, but Time steps in, and with Experience holding up its searching lamp they certify, correct, complete or eliminate the inchoate elements, and out of the residue of their expurgating chemistry the simple truth arises.
