The Mirrors of Downing Street
Publisher Description
The book that aroused as much comment and bitter discussion both in England and America as anything ever written in the biographical line. Unwritten history in most brilliant vein concerning the public and private careers of eminent British statesmen. If we may hazard a guess, we should say that 'A Gentleman with a Duster' is a Lobby Correspondent for some London, American, or provincial paper, who has seen a great deal of politicians in the course of his professional work, and in one sense has known them intimately. Very seldom, however, can he say of the subject of the picture.
