Gladstone: A Biography (140 page)

The third Marquess of Salisbury, who three times succeeded Gladstone as Prime Minister. He was a skilled and often partisan opponent, the founder of ‘villa’, (or suburban) Conservatism, but he and Gladstone did not much engage. They were like ships which passed (and re-passed) in the night.

The Gladstones on one of their last drives.

‘Jenkins is a master of irony . . . This helps to make the book enormous fun to read, while it is also enlightening in any number of ways.’
