Abstract
MAINLY, this retrospect is the story of the author's life, the life of a man who successively was mining engineer and editor, retiring then to enter with no less success upon a wider scholarship. Of less sustained interest it includes stories of travel, of contact with American presidents, and of selections from speeches made and addresses given.
