Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, G. C. B, Vol. 1 of 2
It is customary to describe the differences between men of the same party as 'sordid' in comparison with the honourable and legitimate warfare of men of opposing parties. If that distinction were well founded, much of the record of both the British parties during the years covered by this biography would be open to this reproach; It is not, I think, well founded. The difficulties which honest men have in working together within party lines, and the strains which exceptional events place upon their allegiance to party, are a large part of British history, and the study of them is essential to the understanding of the party system. The record of party differences is therefore not an exposure of what ought to be hidden, but an important part of the necessary material of history.
