From original and reliable sources I have drawn my information and material for these sketches. I have selected representative men, and have attempted fairly to present their characteristics, and usually as their friends would wish to see them. Of things and places, I have drawn from my own knowledge or observation. M.H.S." Some scattered foxing and toning of pages. Pristine new endpapers. Leather binding is fine.
