Mr. Gladstone (Classic Reprint): With Appendix, Containing the Accumulated Evidence of Fifty-Five Years; A Retrospect and Prospect; With Summary and Notes - Brossura
Sinossi
This book examines the life and political career of a prominent figure in British politics. The author, a long-time political opponent and personal acquaintance of the subject, offers a retrospective analysis of his subject's character and policies, drawing on many years of public and private interactions. The author contends that the subject's political positions were not formed from deeply held principles but were instead the result of a profound character flaw. This flaw is described as a habit of weighing all issues by marshalling pros and cons, leading to an inability to make a firm decision. The author argues that this indecisiveness led the subject to abandon his initial support for the Church of England and ultimately to advocate for its disestablishment. The subject's political evolution is examined within the context of the broader history of the Church of England and the role of religion in British society. The author's insights into the subject's character and the consequences of his policies provide a valuable perspective on the complexities of religious and political life in 19th-century Britain.
