Life and Letters of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb

Résumé du livre

My work in preparing this book was made unexpectedly easy. My husband in the latter half of his life collected a series of volumes which he named Servanda -scrap-books in which were pasted letters, reviews, extracts from speeches and newspaper cuttings - matter of any kind that he wished to preserve [...] The many family letters which Mr. Heneage Jebb and Mrs. Arthur Jebb placed unreservedly at my disposal gave the story of his earlier years, and a little diary which he kept chiefly for engagements -in an unbroken series from 1877 to 1905- has been invaluable to me in furnishing dates for our many journeys together and my own memories.
