vi PREFACE 



change of scene and of occupation, together with the diversity 

 of my interests and of the persons with whom I have been asso- 

 ciated, may render this story of my life less tedious than might 

 have been anticipated. 



My thanks are due to those friends who have assisted me 

 with facts or illustrations, and especially to Mrs. Arthur 

 Waugh, who has been so kind as to make the very full Index 

 to my book. 



September, 1905.
