First edition. *'Sir Charles Dilke (1843-1911) was regarded likely to succeed Gladstone as the leader of the Liberal Party. lquote This agreeable life and immensely promising career were both shattered in July, 1885. In that month, Donald Campbell, a Scottish lawyer and Liberal candidate, started divorce proceedings against his twenty-two year old wife. On the basis of a confession which she made, Crawford cited Dilke as co-respondent. There were two hearings, the second caused by the intervention of the Queen's Proctor, during which the most sensational allegations were made, and the final verdict was against Dilke. His career was ruined. But was he guilty?'[wrapper blurb].
