William Ewart Gladstone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419194221)

""William Ewart Gladstone"" is a biography written by James Bryce about the life and political career of the British statesman and Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone. The book covers Gladstone's early life and education, his entry into politics, his rise to power, and his major accomplishments during his four terms as Prime Minister. Bryce provides detailed accounts of Gladstone's policies on issues such as Irish Home Rule, free trade, and social reform, as well as his personal beliefs and religious convictions. The book also delves into Gladstone's personal life, including his marriage, family, and friendships. Overall, ""William Ewart Gladstone"" is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of Britain's most influential leaders.Adding these charms of manner to a memory of extraordinary strength and quickness and to an amazing vivacity and variety of mental force, any one can understand how fascinating Mr. Gladstone was in society. He enjoyed it to the last, talking as earnestly and joyously at eighty-five as he had done at twenty on every topic that came up, and exerting himself with equal zest, whether his interlocutor was an arch-bishop or a young curate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
