Excerpt from Mrs. Gladstone Given to England statesmen and other leaders of thought, men and women who had influenced public opinion. She was by temperament, intellect, and training admirably fitted to be the wife of a leader in the community. With Gladstone's purposes and ideals she was thoroughly sympathetic, and we have testimony in his own words as to the value of her loyal co-operation in his work. The record that is here presented comes from the pen of a loving daughter who had intimate personal knowledge of the life and the home circle, and who has secured from old-time friends of the family information on matters that were not within her own direct experience. The picture given of Mrs. Gladstone, a typical English woman of the highest class, a loving wife and mother, and a loyal co-worker, is most attractive. The life is one that is deserving of commemoration, and the record of it should prove of interest to thousands of American readers who are able to understand the value of the service rendered to England and to the world by the great Liberal leader.
