-interest in the United Kingdom."--_Derby Mercury_. "This excellently got-up work will strike a cord of sympathy in the bosoms of all who are interested in the works of Christianity and philanthropy. . . . Should find a place upon every book-shelf because its contents are of thrilling interest. . . . The book is essentially a statement of facts, and no one can peruse its pages without feeling the impulse of the living spirit which breathes in this 'Cry of the Children.'"--_Potteries Examiner_. "Mr. George Smith has, in his 'Cry of the Children from the Brick-yards of England,' raised issues too serious, and advanced pleas too passionate, to be treated with indifference."--_Daily Telegraph_.

"Those who desire to know what Mr. Gladstone's life has been, and what are the objects to which he has devoted himself, what have been the growth of his political mind and the tendency of his political conduct, will do well to get this book. It is neatly and simply written, and contains a great many facts which have a bearing even beyond the life of its subject."--_Scotsman_. "No one can read this book without advantage. The author has presented Mr. Gladstone in a manner easily recognisable by friends and foes alike. The volume
