This appeal, however, made with full force by Gladstone, could not pre-vail. The measure of Mr. Rice was carried, though the majority in favorof the same was not decisive. The speech made by Gladstone was thelongest and the most impassioned of any which he had thus far delivered inthe Commons. In it we may note wMth distinctness the rudimentary evolu-tion of the book which he was presently to publish, The State in its Rela-tions zvith the Chnreh. The address made against the Rice Bill was pub-lished in Luke Hansards Jortrnal of the House of Commons, and occupieda space of thirteen pages. It may also be regarded as the first of theGladstonian orations. 88 LIKE TIMES OF WILLIAM E. QUEEN VICTORIA, 1843.
