It will be proved to thy face that thou hast men about thee that usually talk of a noun and a verb, and such abominable words as no Christian ear can endure to hear.
29 ページ - I shall have it in my power shortly, I believe, to expose the hostile intrigues of the Ameers to such an extent as may be deemed by his lordship sufficient to authorize the dictation of his own terms to the chiefs of Sinde, and to call for such measures as he deems necessary to place British power on a secure footing in these countries.

That the Governor-General of India will not suffer the slightest infraction of the Treaty. Second. That Article V of the Treaty does not, and cannot, guarantee to the Ameers the power to break any other Article of the Treaty, still less the spirit of the Treaty throughout.
91 ページ - It is necessary to proceed upon a strong presumption of intended hostility, where hesitation might seriously affect great national interests. Your force being now collected, I am disposed to think that no delay should take place in communicating to the Ameers, the ultimate decision of the British Government, with respect to the revision of our engagements with them, which their conduct has compelled us to demand.
92 ページ - Sir Charles Napier had my instructions more than three months before the battle of Meeanee. He was during all that period at the head of a preponderating force ; but, acting with extreme forbearance, in the true spirit of a generous soldier, he earnestly endeavoured to effect the objects of the Government without using the military means at his disposal. The firmness of the language he adopted, and the energy of his measures, were best calculated to control a barbarous Durbar; and, had the Ameers...
42 ページ - On the day on which you shall be faithless to the British Government, sovereignty will have passed from you ; your dominions will be given to others ; and, in your destitution, all India will see that the British Government will not pardon an injury received from one it believes to be its friend.
