SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



" It is a considered, connected, admirably written book, the 

 philosophy and observation of a lifetime. A lively and 

 informing picture of Victorian times." Daily Chronicle. 



" Constantly alive to the great opportunities thus afforded 

 him of seeing notable men and taking part in notable events, 

 Mr. Plowman has reaped his reward in a life of singular and 

 most diversified interest." Evening Standard. 



" We must be grateful for a volume of conversation that 

 calls up past times so genially and so tolerantly." Daily News. 



" Mr. Plowman's opportunities were so unusual, and he 

 can call up the past so well, that his autobiography resolves 

 itself into a most felicitous picture of Early Victorian and 

 Mid- Victorian times." Sunday Times. 



" This excellent book, so reminiscent of vanished sights 

 and faces, of cheerful playhouses long since pulled down, and 

 of fashions gone hopelessly out of date all described with 

 vivacity and honest pleasure." 



Rt. Hon. AUGUSTINE BIRRELL in the Nation. 



" I cordially recommend this pleasant and good-humoured 

 book to the attention of readers." 



CLAUDIUS CLEAR in the British Weekly.
