practice of public rejoicing in the metropolis over the catastrophe
of an administration and a political party, and would wound feelings
which ought to be respected as well as spared.

370 See an interesting letter from Viscount Esher, _Times_, Feb. 22,
1892.

371 "Without their full acquiescence--and indeed their earnest
pressure--he could not even now take a step which would seem to
slight claims which he has amply and generously acknowledged.... If
either now or a few days later he accepts the task of forming and
the duty of presiding over a liberal administration, it will be
because Lord Granville and Lord Hartington, with characteristic
patriotism, have themselves been among the first to feel and the
most eager to urge Mr. Gladstone's return to the post to which he
has been summoned."--_Daily News_, April 22.

372 Up to this point the memorandum is on Windsor notepaper, and must
have been written between the end of the audience and the time for
the train--a very characteristic instance of his alacrity.

M200 Construction Of Cabinet

373 The reader will find the list of the members of the cabinet, now and
at later periods of its existence, in the Appendix.
