Death of Gladstone Analyzed by John Ridpath
John Clark Ridpath presents a sweeping homage to William E. Gladstone. The essay situates the British statesman among contemporaries born in 1809 while tracing his political rise from a cautious merchant family to prime minister. It highlights his reform efforts, especially on suffrage and Irish home rule, and notes his later years at Hawarden, endangering blindness and philanthropy.
