Excerpt from Recollections of Gladstone
The impression which a great man makes upon his contemporaries - how he looked, walked, taught, thought and did his work - will always have a freshness of interest and an historical value beyond any impressions gathered or recorded by those who come after him.
The pages which follow present one of the very greatest of men as he appeared to a personal friend and fellow worker, the Right Honorable James Bryce, M. P., a writer singularly qualified by temperament, training and opportunity to set forth the personality of "The Grand Old Man."
It seems fitting that this happy union of a great subject and a distinguished author should be preserved in convenient and durable form; and that to it should be added Mr. Bryce's views on a matter which filled a great place in Gladstones life as well as in his own.
