dc.description.abstract | The present war has already taught two important
lessons. It has shown how vain were the expectations of
those who had flattered themselves that the principal nations of
Europe had grown too wise to appeal to the sword as the abiter
of their differences; and it has also demonstrated that, much as
we condemned our ancestors for contracting national debts, and
leaving us to pay the interest until we choose to redeem the principal,
we are quite ready to imitate their conduct when the choice
lies between ourselves and posterity. These are lessons which
ought not to be forgotten, and which I trust we may profit by when
peace returns. | en |
