Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gladstone and His Contemporaries, Vol. 1: Sixty Years of Social and Political Progress; From 1830 to the End of the Parliamentary Session of 1889, and to the Year 1890 These subjects yield scenes and episodes of fascinating interest, an extensive gallery of attractive pictures, a chronicle full of absorbing topics and recollections. In the pages of this history there may be said to appear a succession of the most illustrious, famous, or notorious persons in the present century. They are presented to the reader "in their habit as they lived." Even those names which bear immediately on the main current of events form a grand muster-roll of statesmen, legislators, judges, soldiers, orators, philosophers, philanthropists, and men of society, literature, and science, prominent among them appearing Gladstone, Disraeli, Earl Grey, Wellington, Lansdowne, Brougham, Melbourne, O´Connell, Russell, Aberdeen, Derby, Ashley, Cobden, Bright, Palmerston, Peel, Fowell Buxton, Sydney Herbert, Forster, Spencer, Harcourt, Morley, Denman, Lyndhurst, the Napiers, Raglan, Clyde, Havelock, Lawrence, Wolseley, Gordon, Rosebery, Graham, Stuart, Macaulay, John Stuart Mill, Wheatstone, Faraday, Newman, Chalmers, Maurice, Rowland Hill, and a host of others. The value of this publication as a record of the modern history of our country has already been amply attested by the number of those who have subscribed to the former edition, and by the commendations of the public press. The present edition will be found even more useful than its predecessor, as the narrative now includes those recent manifestations of great social and political movements which are unquestionably fraught with such wide possibilities for the future of Great Britain and Ireland. The writer has been careful to display no party bias; and his work has been pronounced to be true, earnest, and sympathetic in tone - a book appealing to citizens in all ranks and of all classes. The Work will be completed in four volumes, super-royal 8vo, price $3.00 each, illustrated by a series of thirty-six authentic portraits of the leading men of the last sixty years. The volumes will be bound in cloth, in a substantial and elegant style, with burnished olivine edges, fitting them either for continuous present use or a place on the library shelf.
