Book Description
Excerpt from Across the Busy Years, Vol. 1: Recollections and Reflections Something like this is true of biography. Rarely is enough told of the subject's ancestry, of the domestic and social environment in which he was brought up, of the details of his formal education and of other supposedly minor events in his life before he became a character of public significance and importance.
