Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Prefatory Note he acted as an informal private secretary to the Baroness Burdett-C outts, and even then his association with Henry Irving justified him in writing a biography of the actor, though it did not justify him in signing himself anything but Frederic Daly. The association with Irving continued, and the busy actor, called upon for speeches and addresses, usually consulted Austin as to the framing of the picture he was to set before his audience. For Austin gradually developed the ready wit that sets the table in a roar, and for years he was acknowledged as one of the best after-dinner speakers in London. His industry and fertility were amazing. Those who knew him only as the writer of Our Note Book in the Illustrated London News, as the Jaques of The Passing Mood in the Daily Chronicle, as the causeur At Random of the Sketch or as the weekly contributor of Points of View to the Manchester Daily Dispatch have no idea of the immense amount of work he poured into the press week by week. For long we shared a room at the Daily Chronicle office, and night by night he wrote a leading article.
