DOWNING STREET

SOME POLITICAL REFLECTIONS

BY
A GENTLEMAN WITH A DUSTER (Harold Begbie)


"_Right and wrong are in the nature of things. They are not words and
phrases. They are in the nature of things, and if you transgress the
laws laid down, imposed by the nature of things, depend upon it you will
pay the penalty_."
