Seite 90 - Can any sensible man, can any rational man suppose that at this time of day, in this condition of the world, we are going to disintegrate the great capital institutions of this country, for the purpose of making ourselves ridiculous in the sight of all mankind, and crippling any power we possess for bestowing benefits through legislation on the country to which we belong ?' With regard to past measures for Ireland, he would not admit that she was not going to be conciliated.
Seite 148 - Take the case of the Prime Minister. You must presume that he reads every important despatch from every foreign Court. He cannot consult with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and exercise the influence which he ought to have with respect to the conduct of Foreign Affairs, unless he be master of everything of real importance passing in that department.
Seite 215 - Empire, but merely for the interests of the European powers of civilisation. It ought to be carried on unshackled by obligations to the Porte, and will probably lead in the peace, which must be the object of that war, to the obtaining of arrangements more consonant with the well-understood interests of Europe, of Christianity, liberty, and civilisation, than the re-imposition of the ignorant barbarian and despotic yoke of the Mussulman over the most fertile and favoured portion of Europe.
Seite 214 - ... oppressive rule of two millions of fanatic Mussulmans over twelve millions of Christians; that they do not try to turn the tables upon the weaker power, now that, backed by England and France, they have themselves become the stronger. ' There can be little doubt, and it is very natural, that the fanatical party at Constantinople should have such views; but to engage our fleet as an auxiliary force for such purposes would be fighting against our own interests, policy, and feelings. ' From this...
Seite 148 - India, unless he be cognisant of all the current important correspondence ? In the case of Ireland and the Home Department it is the same. Then the Prime Minister "has the patronage of the Crown to exercise, which you say, and justly say, is of so much importance and of so much value ; he has to make inquiries into the qualifications of the persons who are candidates ; he has to conduct the whole of the communications with the Sovereign, he has to write, probably with his own hand, the letters in...
Seite 196 - ... to inquire into the nature and principles of trade in all its branches, and to communicate their knowledge on that subject to each other.
Seite 274 - I always say, and always think, that of all the countries in Europe, England will be the last to be free. Russia will be free before England. The Russians know no better, and knowledge might and would operate on them to good ; but the English have the knowledge and the slavery too.
Seite 120 - Mill's eyes. They see in Ricardo and Adam Smith what he told them to see, and it is not easy to induce them to see anything else. Whether it has been altogether good for Political Economy that a single writer should have so monarchical an influence may be argued, but no testimony can be greater to the ability of that writer and his pre-eminence over his contemporaries.
Seite 10 - Out of darkness, and dulness, and confusion, he formed a multitude of ingenious theories and vivid pictures. He had, in the highest degree, that noble faculty whereby man is able to live in the past and in the future, in the distant and in the unreal. India and its inhabitants were not to him, as to most Englishmen, mere names and abstractions, but a real country and a real people. The burning sun, the strange vegetation of the palm and the...
Seite 203 - I could not help noticing that the history classes in their common-schools all began their work with the year 1776, when the American colonies formed themselves into an independent confederacy. The teaching assumed that the creation of the universe occurred about that date. What could be more absurd, more narrow and narrowing, more mischievously misleading as to the whole purport and significance of history? As if the laws, the representative institutions, the religious uses, the scientific methods,...
