REMINISCENCES OF DIPLOMATIC LIFE LADY MACDONELL. From a recent portrait. REMINISCENCES OF DIPLOMATIC LIFE BEING STRAY MEMORIES OF PERSON ALITIES INCIDENTS CONNECTED WITH SEVERAL EUROPEAN COURTS. ALSO WITH LIFE IN SOUTH AMERICA FIFTY YEARS AGO BY LADY MACDONELL ADAM CHARLES BLACK 4 SOHO SQUARE LONDON W. 1913 DEDICATED BY KIND PERMISSION TO HER GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN ALEXANDRA BY HER MOST DEVOTED AND HUMBLE SERVANT ANNE MACDONELL PREFACE DURING a long illness I have amused myself and helped to pass the days by putting down a few of my early recollections and some of the shifting scenes of my life, thinking they might perchance amuse my children and grand children hereafter. I had no intention of making these reminiscences public, and it is only at the request of my family that I have done so. My little effort has no pretensions whatever, nor can it lay claim to any literary merit, but if the memories I have written down should help any one else to while away an hour, Vll Diplomatic Life their existence in book form will perhaps be justified. In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mrs. Morris Hands for the kind encouragement and help she has given me. A. M.
