Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget: Gladstone, Morley And The Confederate Loan Of 1863; A Rectification (1905) is a historical book written by John Bigelow. The book focuses on the role of British politicians William Gladstone and John Morley in the Confederate Loan of 1863 during the American Civil War. The author argues that Gladstone and Morley were unfairly criticized for their support of the loan, which was seen as aiding the Confederacy in its fight against the Union. Bigelow provides evidence to support his claim that Gladstone and Morley were not aware of the true nature of the loan and were misled by the Confederate agents who approached them. The book is a rectification of the historical record and seeks to clear the names of Gladstone and Morley from the accusations of supporting the Confederacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
