Abstract
THE friends and acquaintances-and of a o man so accomplished and of such wide interests as was Sir Edmund Loder, these are many-will be glad to possess this “miniature” of his remarkable personality. Sir Alfred Pease has not attempted to depict a life-size portrait; but by wise selection, and with the assistance of other contributors, he succeeds in conveying a very clear impression. The reviewer can perhaps pay no higher tribute than by stating that though he was not privileged to know Sir Edmund personally he closed the book with the feeling that he knows well what manner of man he was.
