Hello all,
Below is a link to a page that has a rare recording of William Gladstone's voice, recorded on one of Edison's phonographs on Nov. 22nd, 1888. Just scroll down close to the bottom and you'll see in bold print 'hear Gladstone speak', and just click to hear the recording.

Yours truly,

Cheers Tom, that was bizarre, Gladstone is one of my favourite historical figures and a guy I have a lot of admiration for so it's odd to hear him sounding so utterly pompous!

Well, it explains why Queen Victoria said that Gladstone addressed her as if she was a public meeting!! |
