Arrowsmith Printer Quay Street LONDON Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Company Limited Simpkin Marshall Hamilton Kent & Company Limited INTRODUCTION BY MR. POOTER Why should I not publish my diary? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see—because I do not happen to be a ‘Somebody’—why my diary should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth. Charles Pooter.
