^{page 122 note 1} Interestingly enough, in this matter Gladstone and Ripon were similar. Gladstone was outraged by the Afghan war, perhaps because it was an attack on a sovereign state. The war against the Zulus did not rouse him in a similar way. When he listed the major issues of the day in an article for Nineteenth Century, August 1879, he ranked the Zulu war fifteenth in importance.

^{page 122 note 2} In the general election of 1868 the Liberals had won sixty-five of the seats for Ireland. That figure dropped sharply with the rise of the Home Rule movement in the 1870's, until by the election of 1880 the Liberal party on its own was able to win fifteen seats in all of Ireland.
