to the loan in which
appeared the name of Gladstone. He repeated this accusation--a serious
one if true, since Gladstone was a Cabinet member--in his
_Retrospections_ (I, p. 620), and the story has found place in many
writings (e.g., G.P. Putnam, _Memoirs_, p. 213). Gladstone's emphatic
denial, calling the story a "mischievous forgery," appears in Morley,
_Gladstone_, II, p. 83.]

Confederacy_, p. 184. Callahan's Chapter VIII, "The Crisis in England"
is misnamed, for Roebuck's motion and the whole plan of "bringing in the
Tories" never had a chance of succeeding, as, indeed, Callahan himself
notes. His detailed examination of the incident has unfortunately misled
some historians who have derived from his work the idea that the
critical period of British policy towards America was Midsummer, 1863,
whereas it occurred, in fact, in October-November, 1862 (e.g., Schmidt,
"Wheat and Cotton during the Civil War," pp. 413 _seq_. Schmidt's thesis
is largely dependent on placing the critical period in 1863).]
