Présentation de l'éditeur
GllEAT BKITAIN A. 1D THE UNITED STATES. Ladies and Gentleiien: Ton will not expect to be entertained to-night with the novel and thrilling incidents of foreign travel. I r.ppear before you for no such purpose, but to report as well as I am able,, the results of my observations, during a sojourn of three months in Great Britain, of the existing state of British opinion and feeling toward this country, and to assign what seem to me to be its causes. I enter on the performance of this task, with a strong conviction ot the importance of what I have undertaken to do; for he who shall at this time successfully discuss the subject I have just indicated, will throw a great deal of light on the present and prospective condition of Britain, and on her relations to the cause of freedom all over tlie world. He will also present to the American people a higher and a juster view of the value and importance of our own free institutions, and strengthen the purpose to perpetuate them at whatever cost of precious treasure, and more precious blood. I deeply feel my own inadequacy to so great an undertaking, and throw myself upon the indulgence of my hearers; especially begging them to bear in mind the impossibility of dealing thoroughly and satisfactorily with so great a Subject, in the space of a single lecture.
