Excerpt from William Rathbone: A Memoir
IT became clear after my father's death, that among his fellow-citizens in Liverpool, his former constituents in Wales, and his fellow-workers and friends everywhere, there were many who would value a record of his life. It is for these that this Memoir is intended. Owing to the number and variety of his activities, I found it im possible to keep the book as short as I wished, without making it either too vaguely general on the one hand, or a mere string of facts and names on the other. But it has been so arranged, that readers interested in any one subject at which he worked will usually find what they want in one chapter, and can leave out as much as they like of the rest.
