Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Parliamentary Reminiscences The writer of these reminiscences was engaged altogether for forty-five years in the Press gallery at Westminster. He first entered it in 1863 and was there, with the exception of three years, till Midsummer last year. For over forty years of that period he wrote for a leading provincial journal an account of the proceedings in Parliament. He went to Melbourne at the end of 1865 and was absent for three years, and this explains why there is no reference in this volume to the events of the sessions of 1866-7-8. He returned to the Press gallery in 1869. These reminiscences are not intended to be a parliamentary history of the period which they cover. They touch on topics so trivial as the visit of the Shah to the House of Commons, and so grave as the fierce and prolonged conflict which raged between Mr. Gladstone´s second Government and the Irish Nationalists from 1880 to 1885. In that struggle Mr. Gladstone showed himself to be a strong and masterful minister, and to its incidents - many of which were of a very dramatic character - he has devoted considerable attention, because he believes that they had almost as much to do with Mr. Gladstone´s conversion to Home Rule as the presence of over eighty Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons. But, though not professing to be a history, these recollections touch on nearly every measure or matter of importance in the sessions with which they deal. For the present he has not carried them beyond the year 1886. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
