"The Times" says:—"The Lord Mayor's banquet was not less brilliant than those of former years. Mr Asquith made a remarkable speech, instinct with a breadth and clearness of v)3W, an earnest but restrained patriotism that must praise Mr Asquith to a new and higher place in the estimation of his countrymen. The speech was not unworthy to rank for wisdom and courage with those of some of his most illustrious predecessors."
