ANTHONY TROLLOPE : HIS WORK, ASSO- 

 CIATES AND ORIGINALS. By T. H. S. Escott. Demy 

 8vo. 1 2s. 6d. net. 



%* The author of this book has not solely relied for his materials on a 

 personal intimacy with its subject, during the most active years of Trollope's life, 

 but from an equal intimacy with Trollope's contemporaries and from those who 

 had seen his early life, lie has derived, and here sets forth, in chronological 

 order, a series of personal incidents and experiences that could not be gained 

 but lorthe author's exceptional opportunities. These incidents have neverl)efore 

 appeared in print, but that are absolutely essential for a right understanding of 

 the opinions— social, political, and religious -of which Trollope's writings became 

 the medium, as well as of the chief personages in his stories, from the 

 "Macdermots of Ballycloran " (1847; to the posthumous "Land Leaguers" (1883). 

 All litelike pictures, whether of piace, individual, character of incident, are 

 painted from life. The entirely fresh light now thrown on the intellectual and 

 spiritual forces, chiefly felt by the novelist during his childhood, youth and early 

 manhood, helped to place within his reach the originals of his long portrait 

 gallery, and had their further result in the opinions, as well as the estimates 

 of events and men. in which his writings abound, and which, whether they cause 

 agreement or dissent, always reveal life, nature, and stimulate thought. The 

 man. who had for his Harrow schoolfellows Sidney Herbert and Sir William 

 Gregory, was subsequently brought into the closest relations with the first State 

 offidais of his time, was himself one of the most active agents in making penny 



Eostage a national and imperial success, and when he planted the first pillar- 

 ox in the Channel Islands, accomplished on his own initiative a great postal 

 reform. A life so active, varied and full, gave him a greater diversity of friends 

 throughout the British Isles than belonged to any other nineteenth century 

 worker, literary or official. Hence the unique interest of Trollope's course, and 

 therefore this, its record.
