Excerpt from Fourteen Years in Parliament The following pages do not pretend to be a complete history of the fourteen eventful years with which they deal. (the time has not yet arrived for pronouncing final judgment on the causes which led to the extra ordinary success which attended the Unionist Party during the earlier part of this period, and to its even more phenomenal ruin at the end.) Nor are they an autobiography or a diary. A diary in the strict sense I could never keep, nor would I presume to inflict on the reader an account of my own personal doings. I have aimed simply at narrating in order a series of events which happened around me, and of most of which I was an eyewitness, and at recording the impressions made on my mind at the time. It would be idle to deny that my outlook on to the political world is that of a Churchman, a Conserva tive, and a Tariff Reformer, and I have not attempted to disguise my opinions. At the same time I have tried to be fair to political Opponents, and have always realised that in this country happily we may differ profoundly with a man's opinions, and yet respect and even admire him personally. In this spirit this book is offered to the public, and I hope it may prove to be not devoid of interest to students of modern politics.
