For Eve, with love and gratitude
‘Every civilized people on the face of the earth must be fully aware that this country is the asylum of nations, and that it will defend the asylum to the last ounce of its treasure and last drop of its blood. There is no point whatever on which we are prouder and more resolute.’
The Times, 1853
