Excerpt from Parliamentary Reminiscences and Reflections, Vol. 2: 1889-1906 The kindly reception by the public of the first half of my Parliamentary Reminiscences induces me to complete them. The period under review is full of incidents affecting the career and reputation of public celebrities. The fact that I was in the inner ring of politics during the whole of this period gave me exceptional opportunities of examining and gauging the veracity of legends which have sprung up and wound themselves round the names of certain distinguished men of this epoch. These versions have been generally accepted by the public as a true record of motive, decision and conse quences. I have endeavoured to disentangle myth from fact and assumption from evidence. I am well aware that in so writing I must necessarily come up against preconceived ideas based either on prejudice or predilection; but the facts I narrate are not unfrequently more interesting than the suppositions they supersede.
