Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Eight Partiaments, Vol. 1 It was in the Session of 1873 that I first knew Gladstone. He was then Prime Minister, Leader of the House of Commons, throned in 1868 by an overwhelming majority. Five years had sped, and the life of the once buoyant House was running to the lees. The Premier in his sixty-fourth year was still hale and vigorous, with more than twenty years´ work in him, including a momentous measure that shivered the Liberal Party to atoms. But the House of Commons was worn out, fretful with the querulousness of age. Already the master of legions had suffered defeat by a coalition between extreme Liberals and ultra Tories. The Irish University Bill was thrown out by a narrow majority of three. Disraeli declining to take office, the Liberal Ministry forged ahead, but in troubled water that momentarily threatened shipwreck. The Premier was not assisted by the personal popularity of some of his colleagues, including Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Lowe. The Session flickered out amidst constant wrangling and increasing disregard for authority. Gladstones home policy pleased not the people, nor was his foreign policy more popular.
