This book was published in 18989 by International Publishing Co., Chicago & Philadelphia. The book measures 7 ½ inches by 9 ¾ inches and contains 384 pages. The green cloth cover has an embossed and textured finish. The title is in gilt on the front with a lovely pictorial. The gilt is a bit faded and rubbed. The cover shows signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top and bottom of the spine. The book cover shows signs of previous water damage. This does not appear to carry through to the pages. The back board has bits of silver foil stuck to it. I have not attempted to remove any of it. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The bottom edges of the pages have sustained a small, what appears to be a burn mark. The pages show no signs of rips or foxing. The exterior of the book is in fair condition. The text is a clean, readable copy. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is fair.

Excerpt-Preface:
Several years ago I began thinking that no career in modern political life abroad contained so many inspiring and excellent lessons for the youth and hope of American than that of William Ewart Gladstone. A series of lectures at the Armor Institute of Technology proved that a large number of people of every age and place in life were glad to hear the story of his life conceived and treated from an American point of view. These lectures have been rewritten and many additions have been made to them from the large mass of material obtained during a visit to England which gave me an extraordinary opportunity for studying the great statesman and scholar. It has been a delightful task and I can hope for no richer reward for my labor and car than this, that Americans everywhere may find in reading this volume any smallest portion of such pleasure and interest as I have enjoyed writing it…
