excerpt from the book..The Public has given so kindly a reception to The Varnished Pomps ofYesterday (a reception which took its author wholly by surprise), thatI have extracted some further reminiscences from the lumber-room ofrecollections. Those who expect startling revelations, or stale whiffsof forgotten scandals in these pages, will, I fear, be disappointed,for the book contains neither. It is merely a record of everydayevents, covering different ground to those recounted in the formerbook
..., which may, or may not, prove of interest. I must tender myapologies for the insistent recurrence of the first person singular; ina book of this description this is difficult to avoid.
