  1. The title of this book itself implies that there is here no Autobiography: no long, consecutive record of events that are one’s own; but a selection of memories. They are more of people than of things. People-especially people of many sorts-are what is most interesting in the world: except the pursuit of an art. And it is sketches of people, in different spheres of work and of pleasure, that I have essayed to make. Nothing else. Contents: The Terrys, Long Ago; Charles Dickens; Pierre Berton-Sarah-Desclee; Francois Coppee; Gerome and Sarcey; Tennyson; Browning; Swinburne; William Morris and others; Frederick Locker; Links with the Past; More Links; Artists at Hampstead; My Editors; Leighton-Millais-Orchardson; Many Actors; Walter Pater; Henry Irving; Whistler-Haden-Legros; Lecturing and Reading; Mrs. Kendal; and Great Preachers.
