Excerpt from Political Portraits, Vol. 1 of 2: In This New AEra; With Explanatory Notes Historical and Biographical Curiosity is a leading passion, and mankind are impelled by it to listen to what is said of persons that they know, and from this arises the love of private anecdote, which is so universal. The portraits of the political characters of the present time, will probably attract some attention, and those who would not listen to the observations attached to the portraits, were they unconnected with persons, will read them when so connected. Even a prince will wish to know what is said of himself, and what is said of others, I therefore wrote these portraits to procure that attention which other wise I could not find means to obtain.

Excerpt from Vacant Thrones: A Volume of Political Portraits I admit that some reason or excuse is necessary to justify the publication of the following series of personal sketches. Let the one or the other be found in an experience of my own: that in reading history or biography I have Often wished that the authors of these important works had been at more pains to give some intimacy as well as publicity to the characters with whom they were dealing, in order that the reader might recon struct for himself an individual conception of the personages whose lives or policies or achievements were, for the moment, under consideration. Such detaifs are Of quite subsidiary importance to the scholar or the student; but to me, and to other readers in our own libraries, they give light to the eyes, movement to the hands, and direction to the character of the man or woman whose physical and moral outlines we are anxious to recapture.

Excerpt from British Political Portraits The Fourth party was made up of numbers exactly corresponding with the title which had been given to it. Four men, including the leader, constituted the whole strength of this little army. These men were Lord Randolph Churchill, Arthur J. Balfour, John Gorst (now Sir John Gorst), and Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, who has during more recent years with drawn altogether from parliamentary life and given himself up to diplomacy, in which he has won much honorable distinction. Sir John Gorst has recently held Office in the Govern ment, and is believed to have given and felt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Political Portraits: Characters of Some of Our Public Men Is not conscious of any bias for or against individuals. Trojan or Tyrian has made no difference to him. If the impression left on the reader by the sketches is that in England, as in other countries, political affairs are, with four or five exceptions of high and signal capacity, in the hands of men of ability and character, indeed, but of second-rate ability and commonplace cha racter, it is probable that the same impression would be made yet more strongly by the habit of listening to the Parliamentary debates and by some acquaintance with public business. The rule of intellectual averages governs Cabinets and Parliaments; and what Mr. Herbert Spencer conceives to be the law of the Selection of the Fittest as yet applies only imperfectly. It may be superfluous to add that these sketches are not biographies, and that they do not affect any minute or complete psychological analysis. They essay in each case no more than to note and illustrate certain leading features of character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Octaviano Larrazolo: A Political Portrait Abroad the United States was on the verge of her own Civil War; England, France and Spain stood ready to intervene In Mexico to protect the financial interests of their-subjects. It was not until two years later when the course of the war had changed and Juarez had returned to Mexico City that the defeated and exiled reactionaries carried the false tales to France that eventually brought about the short lived and tragic Mexican Empire under Maximillian.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Country Politician: With Frontispiece Portrait Since it is in a great measure by the work of men who, outside their own immediate neighbourhood, are utterly unknown to fame that Governments are kept in office or overthrown, the reminiscences of one who has taken a humble part in political affairs for many years may not be without interest for the rising generation of voters. So I wrote when but a few months ago I began to jot down these reminiscences; when the Unionists had still a nominal majority of between sixty and seventy; and when, though clouds were beginning to obscure the way, and signs were not wanting of a coming storm, there was little to foreshadow the hurricane by which the party has been overwhelmed.

Excerpt from Politics and Pen Pictures at Home and Abroad After an extended observation of public affairs in the United States, and in other countries, I purpose to write a history of some of the most important events that I have witnessed, and to sketch some of the most conspicuous actors in the great drama of this nineteenth century now drawing towards its close. Having been engaged in the service of my country at home and abroad, it has been my fortune to meet many eminent men, and to observe the actual working of the political systems that have so rapidly developed the resources and advanced the power of the United States where free government is established, and those of other countries where monarchical forms exist with all the accessories of pomp and splendor and state. I have seen the rise and fall of parties, the overthrow of reigning dynasties, and the setting up on the ruins of fallen thrones other establishments. Of these events and the men who took part in them I shall write freely; in the hope that the following pages recording the struggles, the disasters, and the triumphs which have occurred in our time may contribute something towards the advancement of the liberty of mankind all over the world.

Excerpt from Persian Portraits: A Sketch of Persian History, Literature, and Politics England has greater interests in the East than any other country in Europe, and ought to lead the way in keeping the world informed on all subjects con nected with Oriental literature. Surely the time has not yet arrived for her to take a back seat on that coach, and to let other nations do a work which she ought to do herself. Perhaps in this Jubilee year something will turn up in favour of a revival of the very useful, but now extinct, Oriental Translation Fund.
