Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections of a Diplomatist, Vol. 1
Owing to a Wholesale and, it seems to me, unwar rentable destruction of family papers, I for many years knew very little of the lives of those Who preceded me, and of the parents I lost in early infancy. Possibly the somewhat roving existence of scattered members of the family may be held as some excuse for this, but it makes me the more desirous to leave to my own sons some record of a life Which has been not altogether uneventful.
