1 Alexander Grönberg to William Gladstone, 16 Apr. 1886 (B.L., Gladstone papers, Add. MS 44,496, f. 254). In fact, Gladstone was aware of the possible comparison, but had not worked it up in the same way as other international analogues: see Gladstone to Hartington (copy), 8 Sept. 1885 (B.L., Gladstone papers, Add. MS 44,148, f. 127) where he suggests in parentheses that he ‘might mention Finland’ in reviewing the experience of self-government in other multi-national states. See also, Hoppen, K.
