John Morley: “What they wanted a protestant parliament, with its grip upon the purse, was determined that they should not have.”

I think any man who lays down a firm proposition that all is well, or any man who says that all is ill--either of those two men is probably wrong.

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.

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.
