Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Aspects and Prospects in Europe: A Lecture Delivered Before the Young Men's Association in the City of Albany, January 31, 1854
As the substance of what I propose to offer will be historical, following, strictly and literally, the course and current of events, I trust it will be borne in mind that it is no particular fault of mine if it shall seem to follow from the obstinate truths of the record presented, that Europe, whether generally or in particular quarters, is not quite so far advanced in the line of full fraternity with us as a Republic as many amongst us have hoped and believed. We Shall find, after all, for our consola tion, that Europe has been making progress, and very remarkable progress too, in liberal ideas, and in govern mental forms fitted to advance, and in some good degree to secure personal freedom. And we Shall find, also, that for very much of all this, beyond all question, She is in debted to us, and to our institutions and example.
