Political Sketches: Twelve Chapters on the Struggles of the Age (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 2018 M03 24 - 164 páginas Excerpt from Political Sketches: Twelve Chapters on the Struggles of the Age The present Chapters owe their origin to a Lecture which I gave in the spring of this year, on the present European Crisis. I should, perhaps, apologize to the English public for having ventured to write in.a language, my knowledge of which dates but from April, 1852, when the political events of my own country drove me to England. The quiet life of a small English town gave me, after some stormy years, the opportunity of reviewing the events of that troubled time, and of comparing the political condition of the Continent, and especially of my own country, with that of England. My principles have remained unchanged after this review, my Opinion as to the means of realizing those principles is partly altered and corrected.
