  • ^* AViTii respect to the coinmeuts of a writer

in the ' Quarterly Keview/ who appears to be interested in the character of the late Prince Consort,* I nuist allow myself to say tliat what I have written in this (Cabinet) edition of my narrative upon the subject of Lord Palmerston's temporary exclusion from office in the December of 1853,t was not only based on sure knowledge, but also — in anticipation of a probable challenge — was worded with so much care as to secure minute accuracy no less than substantial truth. It is by no fault, by no choice of mine that disclosure upon this subject has been kept within fixed, narrow bounds. A. W. K. 2slJunc 1877.
