Excerpt from Unanimity Recommended
It has arisen, it is true, out of the former war; but in the manifold turnings and various complexions of human affairs, it is possible that the party which was originally wrong, may become right by a change of conduct, and dereliction of principle in their opposers. Such, in my opinion, is precisely the case at present. The French were driven into the late war to defend their own liberty, - and they are driven into the present, because they have attacked the liberty of all Europe! It is on these grounds that I mean to defend my consistency; and if any thing further were requisite, I might say that I have relinquished no principle which I formerly held: that if I have changed my opinion of Bonaparte, I have changed it from circumstances; - that I am actuated by no motive of private interest, future or present; and that, though it is certainly animating and satisfactory to think with the majority on any great question of public concern, yet even that motive could never have induced me to profess what I do not believe, to change my opinion without being convinced, or to approve openly what my heart condemned.

The author examines the events preceding the resumption of the war and the actions of Napoleon Bonaparte as the main grounds for the conflict.

The book includes an extensive analysis of the political and diplomatic background of the war, and a discussion of the principles of international law and the balance of power. The author asserts that the war is a just and necessary defense of British liberty and independence against the ambitions of an aggressive and tyrannical French regime.
