John Morley: “Gladstone had rightly divined the state of public feeling about Ireland was shown by the result.”

But as I read it, as I listen to serious Indian experts with large experience, it all sounds estrangement and alienation even though it be no worse than superficial.

The omnipotent though not omniscient divinity called public opinion intervened.

With a few exceptions, a political speech like the manna in the wilderness loses its savour on the second day.

What I wish to insist upon is, not that that system was good, but that the statesman who undertook to overthrow it, should have had something to put in its place.
