E. Gladstone. 408. To Archdeacon {Robert) Wilberjorce. Hawarden, October 31, 1853. My dear Wilberforce, When you left us I had not begun your book [on the Eucharist] ; nor have I yet finished it : I have, however, read the first nine chapters and glanced at the eleventh ; and though I am little fitted to say any- thing at all about such a work and such a subject, I cannot any longer forbear ; indeed, I have found silence very difficult to maintain even up to this point. Speak- ing generally — a...nd to make this reservation seems paltry in such a case — I really cannot tell you either how I admire it as a great effort of comprehensive knowledge and masterly skill, or how thankful I feel 1853] WILBERFORCE'S METHOD 289 that the poor Church of England, and I as a member of it, ought to be for a gift so wonderfully suited to her uses and her needs. With the anticipations I entertained as to the propositions you would have to defend, I was a short time ago greatly astonished at the circumstance which you mentioned, and which I had noticed — namely, that there was no uproar, and even no controversy, about the work: but since I have read, and witnessed the manner in which you have set out the doctrine, my surprise has vanished.
