This really does not amount to an insinuation of uniruth on the part of Lord Normanby After what we have seen, no one can doubt that if M. Guizot had had the opportunity of representing what passed, he would have represented it as other then it was, and more to his advantage. If Major Longbow tells us that he would bare told a different story about himself if he had been his own historian, do we dispute bie assertion! He tells the truth when he intimates that it should have been made to yield to something more to his own credit.
M. Guizol's capacity to dress up a story to his own advantage at the expense of strict matter-of-fact was not worth a question. It may be that he prides himself on more dexterity in such work than be possesses, like little faaac, concelling himself ro guish, but devilish keen," while he is in effect an arraut bungler, who can dupe no one; but this is a sort of pretension which it was hardly worth while The question of permitting slavery in conquered to dispute.
