Fleet Street Fifty Years Ago

Abstract

When the late Lord Norwich entitled his last book, Old Men Forget he was, unfortunately, mistaken. Old men remember too much too readily, and what they remember is apt to have a false glamour upon it. If Kipling had written another “If—,” this time for their benefit, he would probably have told them that IF they could recall the days when they were young without using them to disparage the present times, THEN they would avoid being the pain in the neck which most garrulous old gentlemen are.
