""A Memoir Of The Right Honorable William Edward Hartpole Lecky"" is a biographical work written by Lecky's wife, Elisabeth Van Dedem, and published in 1909. The book provides an intimate portrait of Lecky, a prominent Irish historian and politician of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It chronicles his life from his childhood in Ireland to his education at Trinity College, Dublin, his career as a writer and historian, and his political activities as a member of the British Parliament. Van Dedem also delves into Lecky's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his friendships with notable figures such as John Stuart Mill and Gladstone.
