Birmingham Recollections 1877

Recollections Of Birmingham And Birmingham Men

 REPRINTED FROM THE * BIRMINGHAM DAILY MAIL." 1877.

"THESE sketches, with the signature "S.D.R." were originally published in the Birmingham Daily Mail newspaper. The earliest were written, as their title indicated, entirely from memory. Afterwards, when the title was no longer strictly accurate, it was retained for the purpose of showing the connection of the series. It must be understood, however, that for many of the facts and dates in the later sketches the writer is indebted to others."
