Présentation de l'éditeur
It became clear after my fether sdeath, that among his fellow-citizens in Liverpool, his former constituents in Wales, and his fellow-workers and friends everywhere, there were many who would value a record of his life. It is for these that this Memoir is intended. Owing to the number and variety of his activities, I found it impossible to keep the book as short as I wished, without making it either too vaguely general on the one hand, or a mere strini of facts and names on the other. But it has been so arranged, that readers interested in any one subject at which he worked will usually find what they want in one chapter, and can leave out as much as they like of the rest. A part from the femiliar pitfalls, that lie in the path of any one who attempts to write about the life of a very near relation, there have been other difficulties. When my father left London, he destroyed nearly all the papers that had accumulated during his twenty-six years of Parliamentary life. This obliged me to rely, for those years, too much upon newspaper reports and the recollections, of himself and others, written down long after the event.
