Էջ 86 - Lord Beaconsfield and Mr Gladstone are men of extraordinary ability; they dislike each other more than is usual among public men. Of no other politician Lord Beaconsfield would have said in public, that his conduct was worse than those who had committed the Bulgarian atrocities.
Էջ 434 - giving him full credit for not having reflected at the time' when he decided, as your Majesty believes, to extend his recent cruise to Norway and Denmark. He may humbly state that he had no desire or idea beyond a glance, if only for a few hours, at a...
Էջ 424 - ... newspapers. I have now read it, and I must at once say with deep regret.
