An Examination of the Official Reply of the Neapolitan Government, presentation copy from the author with later ink inscription in another hand at head of title, slightly browned, unbound, stitched as issued, 8vo, John Murray 1852. *** Gladstone made "a visit to Naples, made between October 1850 and February 1851 for the health of his daughter Mary. While there he met Italian liberals and made a brief visit to the notorious prison, the Vicaria. On his return to London he published two letters to Lord Aberdeen (April and July 1851) on the conditions in Naples, the first describing the kingdom of the Two Sicilies as ‘the negation of God erected into a system of government’. He answered his critics in An Examination of the Official Reply of the Neapolitan Government (1852). Gladstone's writing on Neapolitan politics gained him a European reputation and associated him, more than was then really the case, with European liberalism." - Oxford DNB.
