 A DIPLOMATIST. 



By the Right Hon. Sir HORACE RUMBOLD, Bart.,G.C.B.,G.C.M.G. 

 Demy 8v0. i$s. nett. 



Sir Horace Rumbold begins the Second Series of his Recollections 

 in the year 1873, at the point to which he brought his readers in the 

 volumes already published. He begins by describing his stay in Chile, 

 where he filled the position of Minister, and had the handling of the 

 well-known Tacna affair ; it required all a diplomatist's skill to prevent 

 this curious episode from developing into a serious crisis between Great 

 Britain and Chile. Returning home in 1876, Sir Horace enjoyed a 

 period of leisure that enabled him to meet in society all the most 

 famous men and women of the day ; about this time he began to keep 

 a diary, ' of almost Pepysian fulness,' to the no small advantage of the 

 readers of his ' Recollections.' Later on we follow him to appointments 

 in Greece and Sweden, retaining, wherever he found himself, that 

 cosmopolitan interest in his surroundings that has made his earlier book 

 such charming reading. 



Sir Horace has not had time to prepare more than one volume for 

 this autumn, but he hopes in due course to complete his 'Recollections,' 

 and bring them down to the date of his retirement from the Diplomatic 

 Service.

This is another instalment of Dean Pigou's apparently inexhaustible 

 fund of anecdote and reminiscence. Readers of his 'Phases of my 

 Life ' will be prepared to enjoy the feast of good stories set before them 

 in this new volume. Whether the subject be Boyhood and Schoolboy 

 Life, or Sunday Schools, or Preaching, or Parochial Missions, or 

 Cathedrals, or The Relation of Disease to Crime, or Club-life, or Odd 

 People I have met, and Odd Sayings and Doings, they will rely on 

 finding abundance of good wit, good humour, and good sense ; and 

 they will not be disappointed.
