I am trying to feel my way through the most difficult problem, the most difficult situation that a responsible Government can have to face.
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.
The general situation in Egypt had latterly become one in which everything was governed by sheer military violence.
But we have no right to cast on him any responsibility beyond what is strictly military.
