Gipsy Life Part 17

Life of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.

"A carefully prepared story of the public life of Mr. Gladstone in the several spheres of politics and literature. It would be well if similar books to this were as sensibly compiled. It is a handy and useful little book, honestly worth its price."-_Christian World_.

"Written with great fairness and impartiality, as well as with considerable literary ability. It furnishes the reader with a key to the study of that which is undoubtedly one of the greatest characters of modern times. We can hardly conceive of a more useful political publication at the present moment. It is clear, pains-taking, and dispa.s.sionate. We commend it to the favourable attention of all."-_Leads Mercury_.

"Those who desire to know what Mr. Gladstone's life has been, and what are the objects to which he has devoted himself, what have been the growth of his political mind and the tendency of his political conduct, will do well to get this book. It is neatly and simply written, and contains a great many facts which have a bearing even beyond the life of its subject."-_Scotsman_.

"No one can read this book without advantage. The author has presented Mr. Gladstone in a manner easily recognisable by friends and foes alike.

The volume forms an important chapter in Parliamentary history, extending over half a century."-_Literary World_.

"Bearing, as it does throughout, the impress of thought and calm judgment, as well as of an intimate knowledge of the varied aspects of the subject dealt with, it should be of universal interest."-_Morning Post_.
