To say the truth, the station which I now hold in the House is such that I should not be inclined to quit it for any place which was not of considerable importance.

What you saw about my having a place was a blunder of a stupid reporter's.

Croker was taunting the Government with leaving me to fight their battle, and to rally their followers; and said that the honourable and learned member for Calne, though only a practising barrister in title, seemed to be in reality the most efficient member of the Government.

By the bye, my article on Croker has not only smashed his book, but has hit the Westminster Review incidentally.

The Utilitarians took on themselves to praise the accuracy of the most inaccurate writer that ever lived, and gave as an instance of it a note in which, as I have shown, he makes a mistake of twenty years and more.
