About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1899. Not illustrated.

There is, at page 131, a remarkable letter from Mr. Hope-Scott to Newman, in which, writing on 30th December 1857, he says: "Brace yourself up and work on, not as if you must do some particular work before you die, but as if you must do your best till you die." In page 232, it is mentioned that Mr. Hope-Scott, in reply to a friend who asked him, "Why don't you go out?" replied, "Don't you think that the work in Committee gives a man sufficient exercise? Cicero considered making a speech...
