Página 35 - ... we have ourselves called forth. To my mind one of the most important, if it be also one of the most difficult, problems of the Indian Government in these days is how to afford such satisfaction to those aspirations and to those ambitions as may render the men who are animated by them the hearty advocates and the loyal supporters of the British Government.
Página 8 - Ripon has made the bounds of freedom wider, by shaping diverse august decrees, which have not only left Queen Victoria's throne unshaken in this land, but have made it even more broad based upon the people's will. It is the perception of this tendency of Lord Ripon's policy to extend the bounds of freedom that is gall and wormwood to Sir F. Stephen.
