It filled a much larger space in the minds of statesmen than in the minds of the people, and even among statesmen it was so far secondary that it could be treated as an open question in Liverpool's ministry for a period of fifteen years.
For it may be argued with great plausibility that reminiscence is less an endowment than a disease, and that expectation in its only comfortable form that of absolute faith is practically an impossibility; whilst in the form of hope and the secondary compounds, patience, impatience, resolve, curiosity, it is a constant fluctuation between pleasure and pain.

It appears to this recalcitrant member and there is much to be said for his view that all these consequences have been highly advantageous to this country.

It appears to him that "the important thing is to get the industries established in this country, and that the question of their ownership is of secondary consequence."
