RECOLLECTIONS OF A 

 DIPLOMATIST. 



By the Right Hon. SIR HORACE RUMBOLD, BART., G.C.B., 



G.C.M.G. 



FORMERLY BRITISH AMBASSADOR AT VIENNA. 



Two Volumes. Demy &vo. 2$s. nett. 



After narrating some interesting episodes of his youth in Paris, the 

 author carries on his Recollections from the year 1849, when he entered 

 the Diplomatic Service, down to 1873. During this period he occupied 

 posts at Turin, Frankfort, Stuttgart, Vienna, Athens, Berne, St. Peters- 

 burg, and Constantinople, and in 1859 he accompanied the British 

 Mission to China. He had unrivalled opportunities of studying the 

 different phases of Society in nearly every country of Europe, and 

 although the book necessarily touches but lightly on politics, it contains 

 a series of brilliant and entertaining reminiscences of the Courts and 

 high Society of the Continent. Sir Horace Rumbold has many a good 

 story to tell, and it is believed that a large measure of popularity may 

 reasonably be predicted for his work.
