(Cdn). Volume One consists of both Lord and Lady Aberdeen's autobiographies of their early years; Lord Aberdeen was Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in 1886 and served as Governor-General of Canada from September 1893 to November 1898. A substantial part of Volume Two deals with his position. His task was complicated by political difficulties - the sudden death of the Prime Minister, Sir John Thompson in 1894; the break-up of the Bowell Government in the spring of 1896; and the defeat of the Tupper Government later that year. During his stay in Ottawa, Lord and Lady took an active role in social activism. Lady Aberdeen was instrumental in founding the National Council of Women (she was the first president) and the Victorian Order of Nurses. Lord Aberdeen was again appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland from 1905 to 1915. Very interesting, readable reminiscences by both authors.
