More from John Morley
The omnipotent though not omniscient divinity called public opinion intervened.
He was a soldier of infinite personal courage and daring; of striking military energy, initiative, and resource; a high, pure, and single character, dwelling much in the region of the unseen.
I am trying to feel my way through the most difficult problem, the most difficult situation that a responsible Government can have to face.
I would use my best endeavours to make these States independent in matters of administration.
