It is true that what interests the world in Mr. Gladstone is even more what he was, than what he did; his brilliancy, charm, and power; the endless surprises; his dualism or more than dualism; his vicissitudes of opinion; his subtleties of mental progress; his strange union of qualities never elsewhere found together; his striking unlikeness to other men in whom great and free nations have for long periods placed their trust. keywords: affairs; april; bill; book; business; cabinet; canning; case; catholic; change; character; church; circumstances; close; colonial; committee; commons; confidence; conservative; conversation; corn; country; course; day; days; death; debate; degree; desire; disraeli; doubt; duke; duties; duty; effect; end; england; english; fact; father; feb; feeling; force; free; friends; general; gladstone; god; good; government; graham; great; ground; half; hand; having; head; heart; herbert; high; history; home; hope; hours; house; human; idea; interest; john gladstone; july; june; kind; language; law; left; letter; liberal; life; lord; lord aberdeen; lord derby; lord john; lord palmerston; majority; man; manner; march; matter; means; measure; member; mind; minister; moment; motion; nature; new; office; opinion; oxford; parliament; party; peel; people; period; place; point; policy; position; power; present; principles; public; queen; question; read; reform; relations; religion; respect; right; robert; russell; school; second; sense; set; sir; speech; spirit; spoke; stanley; state; strength; subject; support; system; tax; things; thought; time; trade; truth; university; view; war; way; words; work; world; years; young cache: 21091.txt plain text: 21091.txt item: #2 of 7 id: 2158 author: Trollope, Anthony title: The Prime Minister date: None words: 285584 flesch: 85 summary: Old men don't like parting with their money, and he's like other old men.

[Sidenote: THE TREASON FELONY ACT] Even educated Irishmen of a later generation have, with scarcely an exception, failed to do justice either to the dull weight of prejudice and opposition with which Lord John had to contend in his efforts to help their country, or to give him due credit for the constructive statesmanship which he brought to a complicated and disheartening task.[16] Lord John Russell was, in fact, in some directions not only in advance of his party but of his times; and, though it has long been the fashion to cavil at his Irish policy, it ought not to be forgotten, in common fairness, that he not only passed the Encumbered Estates Act of 1848, but sought to introduce the principle of compensation to tenants for the improvements which they had made on their holdings. keywords: administration; affairs; bill; cabinet; church; commons; country; course; days; duke; england; english; fact; france; general; government; home; house; ireland; irish; john russell; law; letter; life; lord aberdeen; lord althorp; lord clarendon; lord derby; lord durham; lord george; lord grey; lord holland; lord john; lord lansdowne; lord melbourne; lord palmerston; lord russell; lord shaftesbury; lord stanley; lord stanmore; lord stratford; lord william; man; measure; minister; ministry; moment; napoleon; nation; new; office; old; opinion; parliament; party; peel; people; policy; position; power; public; queen; question; reform; russia; second; secretary; sidenote; sir; sir john; speech; statesman; time; war; way; wellington; words; years cache: 27553.txt plain text: 27553.txt item: #4 of 7 id: 3622 author: Trollope, Anthony title: The Duke's Children date: None words: 225761 flesch: 88 summary: Such young men seldom mean.
