This article presents information about the book "Memoirs of an Old Parliamentarian," by T. P. O'Connor. The oldest member of the British House of Commons is called "The Father of the House" and well does dear old T. P. O'Connor deserve the name. Not only for his age but for a certain kindliness and benignity that one should like to associate with the name of the father. Most journalists in London have at one time or another known his unselfish helpfulness. In spite of his persistent labors and energetic public life and the numerous successful papers he has started and edited, he remains a comparatively poor man and the fear of poverty still haunts him.
