Review


In recounting the story of his family from the 17th century to the present day, Marmaduke Alderson paints in a background of English social history with telling vignettes. Church, State and the Colonies all have their place in this fascinating account of the antecedents of one of Bristols Lord Mayors. It is left to the reader to draw out what the past has bequeathed to Bristols present. - The Right Reverend Barry Rogerson, Bishop of Bristol.
