[245] Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen, September 16, 1851.

[246] Mr. Gladstone in an undated draft letter to Castelcicala.

[247] The one point on which Lord Aberdeen had a right to complain was
that Mr. Gladstone did not take his advice. As the point revives in Lord
Stanmore's excellent life of his father, it may be worth while to
reproduce two further passages from Mr. Gladstone's letter to Lord
Aberdeen of July 7, 1851. Before publishing the second of the two
Letters, he wrote to Lord Aberdeen: 'I ought perhaps to have asked your
formal permission for the act of publication; but _I thought that I
distinctly inferred it from a recent conversation with you as to the
mode of proceeding_'--(Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen, July 7, 1851).
Then he proceeds as to the new supplementary publication: 'If it be
disagreeable to you in any manner to be the recipient of such sad
communications, or if you think it better for any other reason, I would
put the further matter into another form.' In answer to this, Lord
Aberdeen seems not to have done any more to refuse leave to associate
his name with the second Letter, than he had done to withdraw the
assumed leave for the association of his name with the first.

RELIGIOUS TORNADO--PEELITE DIFFICULTIES

(_1851-1852_)

I am always disposed to view with regret the rupture of party
ties--my disposition is rather to maintain them. I confess I look,
if not with suspicion, at least with disapprobation on any one who
is disposed to treat party c
