Excerpt from London Letters and Some Others, Vol. 2 of 2 What I have called the boycotting Of Mr. Gladstone is as remarkable as any single fact that can be selected. It is a loose use Of the word boycotting, but the word has some how got possession Of the public mind and is employed to denote every degree Of neglect as well as Of that hatred which, in its organised form, passes easily into conspiracy and intolerable persecution. You know, all America knows, what Mr. Gladstone is in public life. Perhaps it is less com monly known that he is, in private life, one Of the most ad mirable Of talkers; indeed, a man with much Of that charm and fascination for other men which the best women have. Yet, for purely political reasons, he is now avoided and de tested; the greatest bore in society could not be so hateful to his fellow-creatures as Mr. Gladstone is to the more ex treme section Of society. It is literally true that to arrange a dinner party Of desirable people to meet him is an effort which tasks the resources Of the most accomplished hostess in London. The list Of Gladstonian Liberals who are also persons Of great social position is not a long one, nor would anything be gained by advertising the fact that, in order to compose a suitable company, the same people had to be asked again and again. Nor, in the crowded life Of Lon don, are the same people always available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from London Letters and Some Others, Vol. 1 of 2: Personalities Two Midlothian Campaigns Congress at Washington. What is here efficient is the Crown. It is the kingly principle, the imperial principle, by which fifty millions of Germans, though with universal suffrage, and triennial Parliaments, and the power of the purse in their hands, are really governed. There is time enough for these and other reflections while the House assembles. Nobody seems to know whether Prince Bismarck is coming himself or not. But while the President, who has the air of a man about to deliver a ser mon, is conversing sedately with a group Of deputies on the steps Of his pulpit, a dark young man enters at his right from a door in the rear, and lays a large red portfolio on the shelf in front of the ministerial seat nearest the tribune. Just beneath stands a tall man of slender build, in an undress uniform Of dark blue and red, his smooth-shaven face scored all over with fine lines, the nose aquiline and thin, eyes sunken, forehead lofty and broad and deeply thoughtful, a palpable brown wig 011 his head; the whole figure slightly stooping; an air of refinement and delicate firmness mark ing him out among the sturdy personages near him. That is the first soldier of Europe, Count von Moltke, and the seat below which he stands is that of Prince Bismarck, who enters a moment later.

Excerpt from London Letters and Some Others, Vol. 2 of 2 From time to time I have mentioned in a brief way some of the incidents which struck me as significant of the real condition of society in London. The boycotting of Mr. Gladstone, the singular animosity shown to Earl Spencer, the steadily growing disposition to make politics the test of social intercourse; then the acceptance, as it were, of the challenge the Gladstonians, the Home Rule party at Spencer House, the meeting of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell at dinner, privately; the public announcement of this private dinner; then the dinner given to Mr. Parnell by the Eighty Club; finally, the altogether astonishing act of the Duke of Westminster in revoking his invitation to Mr. Robert Spencer because of his presence at this hospitable homage to the Irish leader - these are some and only some of the social events which have here been most discussed. Put it is not until one begins to think them over, and collect them together, and make an inventory of them, and sec how they bear on one another, that it is possible to have a true notion of the gravity of the state of things actually existing in London society. No doubt there are persons to whom social phenomena seem of no importance, and all discussion of them mere vanity and vexation of spirit.
