Excerpt from Essays Political, Social, and Religious
If, as is generally felt, England is at present without any definite foreign policy, drifting onwards under the dictation of circumstances, without any real prevision, the time is not ill chosen for speaking. If any one has convictions, it is as well he should state them. All that can be required of such an one is, that he should give the only guarantee a private Citizen can give - that he shall refuse to shelter himself in an anonymous publication. He should be ready, by giving his name, to meet any ridicule or odium that may attach to his views.
I have abstained from any quotations in support of my positions. Such quotations would have shown how little original they are; at the same time, they might have lent them weight. But it seemed an object not to increase the size of the work.
