A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Walter Bagehot presents a few rather special difficulties. In the first place, it is thirty-seven years since he died ;inevitably, therefore, much material which would have been of great value has already vanished. Most of his political friends, among others Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Lord Goschen, Lord Granville, and Lord Carnarvon, with whom Walter Bagehot corresponded, have long since been dead, and letters which these may have preserved during their lifetime are no longer forthcoming. Moreover, Bagehot himself was in the habit of destroying any letters he received except those from his parents, from my father, and from Mr. Richard H. Hutton. A few from others were saved after his marriage because they chanced to come into my sisters possession. In 1852 Walter Bagehot left London and livt dfor some years with his parents at Herd s Hill; conicntly the correspondence between them ceased. Even after his marriage, when he lived elsewhere, he paid his father and mother a few days visit nearly every fortnight up to the time of his death, and would then talk over matters which had formerly been discussed in letters.
