Excerpt from The Library, 1913, Vol. 4: Quarterly Review of Bibliography and Library Lore

The Grand Old Gardener and his wife may or may not smile at the claims of long descent,' but many will still agree with Colonel Newcome that 'every man would like to come of an ancient and honourable race.' It was essential to the person ality of George Fortescue that he did come of a very ancient and very honourable race, and though, like Jaques about another matter, he gave Heaven thanks and made no boast Of it,' he was by no means unconscious of it. This must be my apology for the introduction of so much family history into the biography of an eminent librarian.
