DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Byculla Club a History My readers may judge for themselves how heavy a debt I owe to Mr. Cecil Burns, whose illustrations are the most charming feature of this book and whose account of the cricket matches against the Gymkhana is a much valued addition to history. Among other helpers whom I have particularly to thank are Mr. W. S. Millard, for his account of the Club garden in which he has kindly put his scientific knowledge at my disposal. Mr. Frank Harrison and Colonel Lloyd Jones have provided many of the photographs, and among those who read the proofs in their baldest and most unattractive form and who made valuable additions to, or corrections in, the narrative are Sir Basil Scott, Sir John Heaton, Sir Charles Chitty, Colonel Merriman, and Messrs. T. J. Bennett, F. C. Rimington, J. D. Inverarity, S. M. Edwardes, E. Ferrers Nicholson and W. P. Pechey. Mr. R. P. Karkaria, whose knowledge of the history of Bombay is only equalled by the generosity with which he helps any who work in the. Same field of research, has contributed various facts, notably the sketch of Indian society in the 'thirties which is embodied in the first chapter. Finally, I have to record my deep obligation to Mr. G. Rose who has given me much willing help in a variety of ways at a time when he has moreover been exceptionally busy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn its first publication in 1979, Lejeune's The Gentlemen's Clubs of London rapidly established itself as a widely sought-after and quoted work around the world among those intrigued by and participating in the rarefied world of the famous clubs of London society. This is a new, thoroughly updated edition. This book lays forth the histories of the clubs, why and how each came into being, who belongs and belonged to which, how members are chosen, and how the clubs have changed down the generations - if indeed they have. This work tells of the ambiance and grace of the clubs, their privacies and eccentricities, and of the yarns, disputes and scandals to which they have given rise. Here are new and archival photographs of the clubs' interiors, ranging from the elegant to the snug, premises which are sometimes secret and quirky and sometimes grand, each unique and fitting the character and contributing to the needs and lives of its members.
