The Gladstone-Granville Correspondence

This Reprint contains private correspondence between Gladstone and his Foreign Secretary Lord Granville conducted during the years 1868-1876. The correspondence is between two men who wrote to each other privately but about matters which were as Professor Matthew states in his supplementary introduction the very stuff of official diplomatic exchange. Edited with full scholarly rigor the correspondence sheds light on the details of foreign policy at a time when Britain was at the height of her power as well as on a wide range of nonpolitical matters.
