Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social and Diplomatic Memories: 1884-1893 I have arrived at a time of life when it seems desirable before memory weakens to place on record some of those things which seem worthy of remembrance in a life which has been rich in varied, and perhaps unusual, experiences. I have not only seen history in the making from very advantageous posts of observation, but I have been brought into personal relations with many makers of history them selves and have an ample store of letter-books and of notes written at the moment when events were shaping or when conversations with certain persons of importance had just taken place, which it may be best eventually to destroy. On the other hand I have never preserved or taken copies of official documents, nor did I make any notes from them for my diaries.
