GLADSTONE’S SON
Gladstone of Hawarden. By Ivor Thomas. John Murray. 281 pp. (7/6 net.) Lord Gladstone of Hawarden, who died in 1935,' the last of the “G.CXM.’s” children, reverted to the traditional family enterprise of busi- ■ ness; but his political interests were keen enough and his devotion to Gladstonian Liberalism never wavered. This book is a plain and pleasant account of a long, industrious life, in which we follow the younger Gladstone’s business career in India and finally and for many years in England. It was a career diversified, Vrf course, by his activity as churchman, sportsman, landholder, and Lord Lieutenant of the County of Flint; and there were times’when he served his father as secretary. Besides, there are pretty and comical glimpses of the great Gladstone among his family. Sir Charles Mallet’s phrase, at the end of his introduction, “a great gentleman in a great tradition, wholly worthy :. . . of the fame which he I inherited and kept and handed on*’* ; I is commended, by. these pages*
