Campbell Bannerman (Sir Henry, prime minister, 1836-1908) Autograph Letter signed to Arthur Lawrence, 2pp. with conjugate blank, 8vo, The Palace Hotel, Edinburgh, 5th October 1900, on the subject of Army Reform, "I can hardly put my views on either Army Reform or Ministerial purity in the compass of a telegram, and a partial statement would be misleading. As a matter of fact the main reforms in the organization & spirit of the Army have come from the Liberals although we have never boasted of any exclusive interest in the subject. And the fact that in Mr. Gladstone's Government all Cabinet Ministers resigned their directorships, however innocent of relations with public departments these might be, speaks more eloquently for a scrupulous regard for prosperity than any protestations would do", folds.View Bloomsbury Auctions next auction.Similar lots up for auction |
