Excerpt from Frank Allerton, Vol. 1 of 3: An Autobiography I shall skim very lightly at present over my father's history, as more ample details will hereafter be given in connexion with some stirring incidents in my own life. It will be sufficient now to state that, when I was five years of age, my father brought me over to England, and left me in the charge and under the guardianship of my uncle and aunt, Mr. And Mrs. Uppenham. To my uncle he assigned the management and stewardship of the Allerton estate, and any surplus, after paying the interest on the. Mortgages, was to be used to defray the expense of my main tenance and education. My father then re turned to Paris, where he died a year or two afterwards.
