brutal.

The Mayor of Birmingham speaking at Ipswich the other day, declared that ‘the massacre of Glencoe was mercy compared with the burning of kraals in Zululand,’ and advised his hearers that the best thing the people of England could do was to make the easiest terms they could with that much-injured heroic king Cetewayo.
