Excerpt from Causes of the Afghan War

They consist of more than 500 folio pages well filled with print; and the amount of time for studying them before the debates in Parliament was therefore extremely scanty. The result is that the mass of matter has hitherto been very insufficiently elucidated; and indeed the debates in Parliament turned to an undue extent on the party issues raised by Lord Cranbrook's de spatch. A great deal yet remains to be said before the people at large can understand what has been done and is being done. This must be the work of many pamphlets, articles, and speeches. And the Committee conceive that an arrangement of the material parts of the papers in order, coupled with such statements as will suffice to connect and elucidate them, with com ments on the salient points, and with proper references to the originals as published, will be the best way of lightening the labours of those who wish either to ex pound the subject to others or to understand it them selves. We have also given fi'om a separate Blue-book an account of the occupation of Quetta, which is con nected with the consideration of Afghan affairs.
