servants were satisfied that war had become so probable as to impose upon them the
necessity of ordering costly preparations for it to be commenced, they did not advise
your Majesty to summon Parliament to meet with the least possible delay, in order
that due provision might be made for the expense to be incurred, and that an
opportunity might be offered to Parliament, before the war was begun, of considering
the grounds on which it was to be undertaken, and of forming a judgment as to its
justice and necessity,")-(The Earl Grey)
