Sketches and Reminiscences (1903)

Sketches and Reminiscences is a collection of essays and personal recollections written by Joshua Hilary Hudson and originally published in 1903. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains sketches of notable figures from Hudson's time, including politicians, writers, and artists, while the second part is a collection of personal reminiscences about Hudson's life and experiences. The sketches in the first part of the book cover a wide range of topics, from the political figures of the day, such as Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone, to literary giants like Charles Dickens and Thomas Carlyle. Hudson's writing style is engaging and insightful, providing a unique perspective on these well-known figures.The second part of the book is more personal, with Hudson sharing his memories of growing up in rural England, his experiences as a young man in London, and his travels throughout Europe. He also writes about his love of nature and his passion for gardening, providing a glimpse into his personal life and interests.Overall, Sketches and Reminiscences is a fascinating look at the people and events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as a personal reflection on one man's life and experiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
