Description
Excerpt from Lord Hobhouse: A Memoir
This Memoir was undertaken at the desire of the late Lady Hobhouse, and since her death in May last has been continued in accordance with what were believed to be her wishes, namely, to give in brief compass a permanent record of her husband''s work, and of his thoughts on many questions of public interest to which he had given close attention. The Editors have received great assistance from many of Lord Hobhouse''s friends, who have allowed them the use of private letters, and in some cases contributed impressions and appreciations of Lord Hobhouse''s work. Most of these obligations are acknowledged in the text, but they wish to record here their very special debt to Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick, who has most generously put at their disposal his intimate knowledge and ex perience of Lord Hobhouse''s life and work in India. It is due chie?y to him that the Editors have been able to give so full a picture of this part of Lord Hobhouse''s career. They have also to thank Lady J enkyns for the use of letters written by Lord Hob house to his nephew Sir Henry J enkyns; Mr. Gomme for supplying materials for the description of Lord Hobhouse''s work on the London County Council.
