Gladstone's place in English history
will be high, and it will be quite apart
from any other. He will have no near
companionship in his fame. It will be,
we think, an eminence designed to mor
al qualities more than to Intellectual
powers. The very sincerity that his en
emies have denied to him will be couut
ed, perhaps, the loftiest of his claims.
It will be «eeu that few men of brilliant
gifts and great ambitions have bought
with his earnestness for the right- in
what they did or st< od with his courage
by what they found it to be. When he
braved the scorn and cnger of the
church, which has always been mors
to him thin to meet of 1U priests, and
challenged by the same act his own
past In order to do justice to the peo
ple of another creed, and when ho made
& righteous pei.ee with the Doers in
the face of a storm v-f English wrath, h®
rose to a greatness in character that
will be measured in future time with
clearer eyes than now.—Atlantic.
