Excerpt from A Letter to a Late Cabinet Minister on the Present CrisisMarlborough was a trickster, but he sought only to trick a court, has the Duke of Wellington a grander ambition, and would he trick a people? "Like chimnies, " said the wise man, "which are useful in winter and useless in summer, soldiers are great in war, and valueless in peace." The chimney smokes again! - there is a shout from the philosophers who disagree with the wise man, "See how useful it is!" - but it smokes because it has kept the soot of the last century, and has just set the house in a blaze! - the smoke of the chimney is the first sign of the conflagration of the edifice.Let us, my Lord, examine the present state of affairs.
