Election Speeches in 1879 and 1880. With an Address to the Electors of North-East Lancashire. By the Right Hon. the Marquis of Hartington, M.P. (C. Regan Paul and Co.)—The republication of these speeches, with the admirable election address which preceded them, is very timely. The Liberal party can now compare them with the actual policy of the Liberal Government; and those interested in the personnel of the Liberal Government will see how fax Lord Hartington's political creed agrees practically with that of Mr. Gladstone. The speeches were worth preserving in a permanent form.
