Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Gibraltar and of Its Political Relation to Events in Europe: With Original Letters From Sir George Eliott, Admiral Collingwood, and Lord Nelson
The principal public exponents of this theory were Mr Goldwin Smith Mr Bright, and Mr Congreve.

The grounds upon which their arguments are based are almost identical, and I venture to think they are similarly fallacious.
