Excerpt from War in China: Speech of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M. P., March 3rd, 1857
I rise, Sir, to answer, in the first place, the appeal made to me by the honourable and learned mem ber for Hertford, with regard to the appointment of Sir John Bowring. That appeal, so far as I am concerned, was very naturally and justly made by him, because he was misled by the higher authority of the speech of the right honourable gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department. I complain of that speech in respect, not of accuracy only, but of justice, in so far as the appointment of Sir J. Bowring is concerned. I presume, first, to complain on be half of the noble lord the member for the city of London for in order to make him responsible for the appointment of Sir J. Bowring to high political and diplomatic position it was requisite to show more than the mere fact that my noble friend had considered him fit, from his commercial know ledge and his undoubted zeal and ability, to discharge the subordinate duties of the consulate.
