About this book

Recollections is by David Christie Murray. The book carries a photogravure portrait of the author and a number of original letters, of which one by George Meredith and another by Robert Louis Stevenson are reproduced in facsimile. Chapter I is headed The Unlucky Day of the Fool's Month and also names High Street, West Bromwich.

The writer says that the stammering step came round the bend of the lane, and that he saw for the first time a person whom he grew to respect and pity later on. The text describes a man who had been a metal-worker of some sort, and the victim of an explosion which had wrecked one side of his face and figure. A shrill scream of sound rose as Labori uttered the words; he paused and faced squarely round upon his interrupters, turning his back on the tribunal. The text also says that at the Concert Flam a porcelain coffee cup weighed something like a quarter of a pound.
