CHAPTER IX.
SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE ABROAD.
_Gladstone .-- Dr.Brown .-- Dean Stanley .-- Shaftesbury, etc._ In a former chapter of this volume I gave my reminiscences of some celebrities in Great Britain sixty years ago.

In the present chapter I group together several distinguished persons whom I met during subsequent visits.

The first time I ever saw Mr.Gladstone was in August, 1857, when Lord Kinnaird kindly took me into the House of Commons, and pointed out to me from a side gallery the most prominent celebrities.

A tall, finely formed man, in a clear resonant voice, addressed the House for a few moments.

"That is Gladstone," whispered Lord Kinnaird.
