Book Description
Excerpt from A Short Life of William Ewart Gladstone: With Extracts From His Speeches and Writings In the long roll of English statesmen and party leaders there is none, probably, who has won such cordial sympathy and esteem from the American public as Mr. Gladstone. Our own political struggles are so absorbing and exhausting that in general we have little interest to spare for those electoral contests which occasionally disturb the quiet of European countries; but the 1879-'80 "campaign" in Great Britain aroused an excitement among our more intelligent classes which was only less intense than that which was seething in England itself, and here, as there, the interest centred around the stalwart figure of Mr. Gladstone.
