WILLIAM ALLISON 



AUTHOR OF 

 'THE BRITISH THOROUGHBRED HORSE 



"The story of a miscellaneous life— the kind 

 of desultory autobiography that always makes 

 a wide^ appeal. The changing lights of Mr. 

 Allison s career make a fine display of reminis- 

 cence— a brilliant classic who might have be- 

 come a fellow of All Souls, but did not ; arising 

 junior who left the Bar to take up the editor- 

 ship of the St Stephen's Review ; and lastly a 

 sporting journalist who found salvation in his 

 unrivalled knowledge of the British thorough- 

 bred. The atmosphere of the stable and the 

 1 urf pervades the book, but there are other things 

 —pictures of Rugby in the 'sixties and Jowett's 

 Balliol where Mr. Allison had for contempo- 

 raries Mr. Asquith, Mr. W. H. Mallock, and 

 Canon Rawnsley. It was Mr. Allison as editor
