Lloyd George has claimed it as one of the advantages we derive from the British press that it misleads public opinion abroad, and a study of "The Times," the only British newspaper that carries much weight in foreign countries, may well have persuaded the German Government in 1914 that eight years of Liberal administration were not likely to have provided England with the means, or left it the spirit, to challenge the might of Germany.
Kings who, so often vanquish'd, vainly dare Menace the victor that has laid you low Look now at France and view your own despair In the majestic splendour of your foe.

We regret to say that Dr. Westcott, in laying the case before his readers, somewhat misleads them, although, doubtless, unintentionally. But as we hereafter deal with these discrepancies, we need not dwell on them now, only warning our readers that since even such a man as Dr.
