About this book
Sketches in the House is subtitled "The Story of a Memorable Session (1893)" and is by T. P. O'Connor. The book says Mr. Gladstone, "in tones of thunder, referred to the speech of Lord Salisbury in 1885".
The book also mentions Mr. Balfour, who "had made the statement that such a policy as Home Rule had always led to the disintegration and destruction of empires". The book says "The Tories thus early developed the policy of preventing the Government passing any Bill". The book speaks of Lord Spencer and says "I don't think I ever admired him so much as when he stood up on September 4th to address this strange assembly".
