an audience with the queen, gave up the
seals Of office. A successful operation was
performed two months later by which the
cataract was removed. His long connection
with the house of commons terminated in
1885, as he did not seek reelection. Since
that period Mr.. Gladstone rarely took any
part in public affairs.
