Edmund Gosse's House of Lords Diary 1904-06 -

Edmund Gosse, author of 'Father and Son', kept a diary from 1904 to 1906 of his life at Westminster when librarian of the House of Lords. From his privileged position he gives an unrivalled inside view of parliament and its many characters, including A. J. Balfour, Asquith and Haldane, in this hitherto unpublished journal.
