Lord Wellesley's objections to remaining in the Cabinet, arose, in a great degree, from the narrow & imperfect scale,...

Perseverance alone can achieve the great object in question ; and I cannot withhold my approbation from those who have honourably distinguished themselves in support of it.

Pàgina 310 - I had a very great regard for Perceval. We went the same circuit together, and for many years I lived with him in a very delightful intimacy.
