A steady line of policy right or wrong had been followed for nearly forty years under successive administrations on both sides. All of a sudden my Lords Salisbury and Beaconsfield determine to change it altogether and despatch Lord Lytton loaded and primed to carry out their views. This brings... them into trouble and war, and instead of taking their line boldly as they ought, they garble facts for the purpose of throwing the blame upon their pre- decessors and especially upon your humble servant.
