Additional Comments:
Editor's note: 'There is no article in the ''Fortnightly'' by Gladstone in 1878. She probably meant ''England's Mission'' in the ''Nineteenth Century'' by Gladstone, and W.R. Greg's paper in a symposium on ''Is popular judgement in politics more right than in that of the higher classes?'' The Eastern question was then exciting great interest in England...'
