The Glorious Revolution

by Edward Vallance

  I would also like to thank the personnel of Staff House, Abercromby Square, for seeing to my coffee and muffin needs. My wife Linnie bore the lost weekends spent writing with great stoicism and offered love and encouragement throughout. I hope the end result will be a book that is genuinely a pleasure to read.
