"Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory."*

«As the Roman, in days of old, held himself free from indignity when he could say 'Civis Romanus Sum' [I am a Roman citizen], so also a British subject in whatever land he may be, shall feel confident that the watchful eye and the strong arm of England will protect him against injustice and wrong.» (Lord Palmerston)


Henry John Temple, Viscount Palmerston
The Most English Minister (D. Southgate-1966)
