Smith, George
Romanies -- Great Britain
“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
dispassionate. 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_.

Methodism in 1879: Impressions of the Wesleyan CHURCH AND ITS MINISTERS.
“A new contribution to an important chapter of church history, and
promises to be of much interest.”—_Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone_.
“The remarks in this work on the general relations of the Methodists to
the tendencies of the age are full of instruction.”—_Dean Stanley_.
“We have read this book with considerable interest and pleasure, feelings
which any reader who approaches it from the Church of England point of
view can scarcely fail to share.”—_Spectator_.
“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_.
“The author has rendered a splendid service to Methodism. Much that the
writer tells us with respect to the various agencies of Methodism is
extremely interesting.”—_Edinburgh Daily Review_.
