[Footnote 1071:  After the war was over Bigelow secured possession of and published an alleged list of important subscribers to the loan in which appeared the name of Gladstone.  He repeated this accusation—­a serious one if true, since Gladstone was a Cabinet member—­in his Retrospections (I, p. 620), and the story has found place in many writings (e.g., G.P.  Putnam, Memoirs, p. 213).  Gladstone’s emphatic denial, calling the story a “mischievous forgery,” appears in Morley, Gladstone, II, p. 83.]

[Footnote 1080:  Callahan, Diplomatic History of the Southern Confederacy, p. 184.  Callahan’s Chapter VIII, “The Crisis in England” is misnamed, for Roebuck’s motion and the whole plan of “bringing in the Tories” never had a chance of succeeding, as, indeed, Callahan himself notes.  His detailed examination of the incident has unfortunately misled some historians who have derived from his work the idea that the critical period of British policy towards America was Midsummer, 1863, whereas it occurred, in fact, in October-November, 1862 (e.g., Schmidt, “Wheat and Cotton during the Civil War,” pp. 413 seq.  Schmidt’s thesis is largely dependent on placing the critical period in 1863).]
