Retrospect: An Unfinished Autobiography 1848-1886 is a memoir written by Arthur James Balfour, the First Earl of Balfour. It is an autobiographical account of the author's life from 1848 to 1886, covering his childhood, education, political career, and personal life. Balfour was a prominent figure in British politics and served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 to 1905. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on Balfour's early life and education. The second part covers his political career, including his time as a Member of Parliament and his involvement in various political issues such as Irish Home Rule and the Boer War. The final part of the book covers Balfour's personal life, including his relationships with family and friends.Although the book is titled Retrospect, it was left unfinished by Balfour and only covers the first 38 years of his life. Despite this, the book provides a fascinating insight into the life of a prominent figure in British politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to both historians and general readers interested in British history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
