John Morley: “In my opinion the qualities of a good administrator and statesman go to make a good war minister, especially at this…”

What I endeavoured to show was that King George III., without changing his opinion of the justice of his war against the colonies, was obliged to give it up on account of a change of public opinion, and was not open to blame for so doing.

I would use my best endeavours to make these States independent in matters of administration.

All alike concerned themselves with its truth or falsehood, with what they counted to be its abstract fitness or unfitness.

What I expect is a healthful, slow fermentation in many minds, working towards the final product.
