Excerpt from The Life of George Joachim Goschen, First Viscount Goschen, 1831-1907, Vol. 1 of 2

This Life of the First Viscount Goschen has been written at the request of his son the present Lord Goschen, who has placed at my disposal all diaries, letters, and papers in his possession bearing on his father's career. The late Lord Goschen, towards the end of his life, put together some recollections of his childhood and early years, and from this autobiographical fragment I have been able to quote. During his visit to Germany, after Rugby and before Oxford, he kept a regular journal from which I have given extracts. He has also recorded some recollections of his early days in Parliament, his interview with Palmerston, his speech seconding the Address, and his journey to Russia; of all which, wherever possible, I have availed myself. At various times he took to making little entries in pocket-diaries, and of these also I have occasionally been able to make use. On events of great importance, such as the Baring Crisis, he sometimes wrote at greater length. But, he did not keep any continuous journal of his life.
