More from John Morley
I don't myself believe in artful diplomacy; I have no gift for it.
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 would use my best endeavours to make these States independent in matters of administration.
The plan for Ireland ought to be produced by the government of the day.
