e Roman Catholic Relief Bill and the Repeal of the Corn Laws.' SATURDAY REVIEW. 'Mr. McCarthy's chapters on Catholic Emancipation are written with admirable impartiality, and he does ample justice to that high-minded administrator, Lord Anglesey.'--ATHENAEUM. * * * * * NEW EDITION. TWELFTH THOUSAND. THE RT. HON. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P. BY G. W. E. RUSSELL. With Photogravure Portrait.
