Excerpt from A Book of Parliamentary Anecdote: Compiled From Authentic Sources In the following pages an attempt has been made to bring together for the first time, in the form of anecdote, some of the more striking facts in the history of our Parliaments and the public lives of distinguished statesmen. As the value of such anecdote must mainly depend upon its authenticity, the compilers have gone for their material only to sources of established repute, appending in each case the authority from which the facts are quoted. It would have been a comparatively easy task to collect a mass of unauthenticated incidents, but the result would have been worthless in proportion to the facility of the undertaking. To interest and amuse is but a part of the aim of the book. It is also designed to furnish information of a useful character, and to form a reliable work of reference; and it is hoped these objects have been in some degree secured. The public career of living statesmen, and of those lately deceased has been sparingly dealt with. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
