Mr. Gladstone at Leeds: interior of the Victoria Hall, Leeds Townhall - Presenting Addresses, 1881. The British Prime Minister in Yorkshire. 'After speaking an hour, Mr. Gladstone was entertained at luncheon, in the Victoria Hall, by the Leeds Liberal Club...The first part of the business, as the Mayor explained, was nonpolitical, or supposed to be so, since the address of the Corporation was from a body representing all shades of political opinion. The Town Clerk read this address with much oratorical emphasis. The Premier's reply was designedly brief and almost colloquial. Then came the presentation of eighty-eight other addresses...Durham, Northumberland, Lancashire, and Cheshire were represented, though, of course, the majority of the addresses came from Yorkshire Liberals'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
