[Lord Salisbury "believes the Sultan to be a humane man."—Speech at Bradford.]

Lord Salisbury believes—

That Richard the Third was a remarkably amiable man; especially kind to children.

That Nero was the gentlest creature that ever breathed, except Caligula.

That Henry the Eighth was a gentle, unassuming person; most religious and domesticated; in fact, a model husband, and the sort of man that "wouldn't harm a biby."
