JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN

AN HONEST BIOGRAPHY

By

ALEXANDER MACKINTOSH

"Of the simplest character to his sworn admirers or
sworn enemies, one of the most complicated to those
who are neither" (LORD ROSEBERY on a survey of
Napoleon).

"Une comète qui est entrée dans l'auguste pléiade et
chemine avec elle sans avoir rien perdu de ses attributs
de comète" (M. BOUTMY, in preface to Achille Viallate's
book on Mr. Chamberlain).
