| Evidence: | The Duke of Wellington to John Wilson Croker, 31 December 1840:
'I will not deny myself the satisfaction of telling you with what delight I have perused your article in the Quarterly Review on the Foreign Policy [...] I believe that there are few persons who know so much of what is called the Eastern Affair as I do [...] and I must say that I have not seen any statement of the case of the country, including that of Ministers, half so clear or strong as you have made out.' |
