Mr. Stephen Coleridge has seen much of the world in two hemispheres 
and has been able to count among his intimate personal friends many of those 
whose names have made the Victorian age illustrious. 
Mr. Coleridge fortunately kept a diary for some years of his life and has 
religiously preserved the letters of his distinguished friends ; and in this book 
the public are permitted to enjoy the perusal of much vitally interesting 
correspondence. 
With a loving and appreciative hand the author sketches the characters of 
many great men as they were known to their intimate associates. Cardinals 
Manning and Newman, G. F. Watts, James Russell Lowell, Matthew Arnold, 
Sir Henry Irving, Goldwin Smith, Lewis Morris, Sir Stafford Northcote, Whistler, 
Oscar Wilde, Ruskin, and many others famous in the nineteenth century will be 
found sympathetically dealt with in this book. 
During his visit to America as the guest of the American Bar in 1883, Lord 
Coleridge, the Chief Justice, and the author’s father wrote a series of letters, 
which have been carefully preserved, recounting his impressions of the United 
States and of the leading citizens whom he met. 
Mr. Coleridge has incorporated portions of these letters from his father in the 
volume, and they will prove deeply interesting on both sides of the Atlantic. 
Among the illustrations are many masterly portraits never before published. 
From the chapter on the author’s library, which is full of priceless literary 
treasures, the reader can appreciate the appropriate surroundings amid which 
this book was compiled. 
ANTHONY TROLLOPE : HIS WORK, ASSO- 
CIATES AND ORIGINALS. By T. H. S. Escott. Demy 
8vo. 1 2s. 6d. net. 
\* The author of this book has not solely relied for his materials on a 
personal intimacy with its subject, during the most active years of Trollope’s life, 
but from an equal intimacy with Trollope’s contemporaries and from those who 
had seen his early life. He has derived, and here sets forth, in chronological 
order, a series of personal incidents and experiences that could not be gained 
but for the author’s exceptional opportunities. These incidents have never Lefore 
appeared in print, but that are absolutely essential for a right understanding of 
the opinions — social, political, and religious— of which Trollope’s writings became 
the medium, as well as of the chief personages in his stories, from the 
“ Macdermots of Ballyclcran ” (1847 J to the posthumous “ Land Leaguers ” (1883). 
All lifelike pictures, whether of place, individual, character or incident, are 
painted from life. The entirely fresh light now thrown on the intellectual and 
spiritual forces, chiefly felt by the novelist during his childhood, youth and early 
manhood, helped to place within his reach the originals of his long portrait 
gallery, and had their further result in the opinions, as well as the estimates 
of events and men. in which his writings abound, and which, whether they cause 
agreement or dissent, always reveal life, nature, and stimulate thought. The 
man, who had for his Harrow schoolfellows Sidney Herbert and Sir William 
Gregory, was subsequently brought into the closest relations with the first State 
officials of his time, was himself one of the most active agents in making penny 
postage a national and imperial success, and when he planted the first pillar- 
box in the Channel Islands, accomplished on his own initiative a great postal 
reform. A life so active, varied and full, gave him a greater diversity of friends 
throughout the British Isles than belonged to any other nineteenth century 
worker, literary or official. Hence the unique interest of Trollope’s course, and 
therefore this, its record.
