Excerpt from The Might of Right: From the Writings of William Ewart Gladstone
It was a worth-while suggestion to provide for spare minutes communion with the choice utterances of an ample mind loosed from task-work and at large in the "Sabbath of that deeper sea," where its contemplations are serenest. Great men are no longer of most interest for the events of their lives. We rate them rather by the measure and influence of their thought and speech. So the following extracts are a good biography in short of Mr. Gladstone, for they reveal him in something better than his political greatness - they reveal him in what makes him and best makes any man great - the loftiness of his moral sentiment.
This book comes at an opportune moment, when the whole world is on tip-toe to catch a glimpse of the foremost man in England.
