“Never, perhaps, was any Object in itself, abstractedly considered, less valuable, nor less worthy of public Attention, than the Falkland Islands: yet, the Manner in which Spain acted on the Occasion, displayed so much Arrogance, as to compromise the Honor of the British Crown, and to demand a Reparation no less public than the Affront.”
— Nathaniel Wraxall, Historical Memoirs of My Own Times, 3rd ed. (London, 1818) vol. 2, pp. 105–6
