First sentence: "We were all born, my brothers, sisters, and myself, in our grandfather's house on the banks of the Mersey, and one of my earliest recollections is of being taken up to his sitting-room to dance and play games."
Description: Hildegarde Gordon Brown was the grand-daughter of James Muspratt, who came to be known as “the father of the alkali industry (i.e. chemical industry) in Lancashire”. He  erected at Seaforth what his son called “a house of noble dimensions and classic style”, called "Seaforth Hall". In "I Remember" she recalls her childhood years at the Hall, from the 1870's. It provides a lively and interesting account of life in an affluent late Victorian household. Apart from family joys and tragedies, it includes details of Christmas, visits to nearby Liverpool, Eastham Woods Pleasure Gardens, New Brighton, Hengler's Circus, trips on the Mersey and Guy Fawkes celebrations. She concludes with the ultimate horror -- a visit to the Victorian dentist!
