    • 1871, Augustus Mongredien, England's Foreign Policy, page 18:
      In the first case, we sacrifice blood and treasure for the accomplishment of some object which, in some instances, we fail in accomplishing (which is the most frequent result); or which, in others, having accomplished for the time, we shall have to reaccomplish before many years elapse; or which, even, in case of success, is not worth the thousandth part of what we have sacrificed for its accomplishment.
