Nothing can show greater ignorance of English politics than such an idea. I tell you there is no Government--Whig or Tory, Liberal, Conservative, or Radical--who would dare, under any circumstances, to give back this country (the Transvaal). They would not dare, because the English people would not allow them.”--(_Extract from Speech of Sir Garnet Wolseley, delivered at a Public Banquet in Pretoria, on the 17th December 1879._)…
