Synopsis

Excerpt from The Life of William Ewart Gladstone In the following pages the aim of the writer has been to present a view at once summary and impartial of the Parliamentary career, political opinions, and practical enactments of the subject of the biography, from his first return to the Parliament created by the Reform Bill of 1832 down to the last day of the existence of the Whig Parliament of the middle class. The Author has not concealed his admiration of Mr. Gladstone in the fields of fiscal; and electoral reform. For obvious reasons he has apportioned a large portion of his canvas to the history of the great statesman's opinions and utterances upon the Church Establishment in Ireland, and upon the general relations of the Church and the State. Some ancestral and personal details appear in this little work, in print for the first time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
