A talk by W. H. G. Armytage
This week marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of A. J. Mundella (July 22. 1897), who served as a member of the Liberal ministries of both Gladstone and Lord Rosebery. He is chiefly remembered for his tireless advocacy of compulsory education, and for his work towards legalising the Trades Unions. It is not so well known that he was one of the pioneers in the mass manufacture of fashioned stockings, and that from this period in his life can be traced most of his ' radical ' ideas. This view of him by W. H. G. Armytage , who is a lecturer at the University of Sheffield, also throws light on the financial scandal which drove him from office
