I cannot agree with you that the money in Spain has been ineffectual in producing the better hope which now exists...I still think that our opinions at the beginning and in the progress of the Spanish contest were well warranted by such data as we then had to reason upon...But I cannot say that as things have turned out, contrary certainly to any expectations, the event of the Spanish war has not been both honourable and advantageous to this country. (Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey)
