Synopsis

Excerpt from Under Three Flags: Or, the Story of My Life as Preacher, Captain in the Army, Chaplain, Consul, With Speeches and Interviews

The author Of this volume pretends to none Of the qualifications Of authorship thus described; but he does claim to have given in the words Of distinguished men their Opinions and estimates upon a variety Of subjects, and to give his own reminiscences in words plain and truthful. He has not colored his phrases with eloquent and pompous language, believing that a noble cause is grander than a kingly throne, and sincerity the true scepter Of success.

He acknowledges his Obligations to the current litera ture Of the times which embraced his early life. He takes pleasure in recording his gratitude to the Dublin Nation, the splendid republican journal. It was to Ireland what the Marseillaise was to F rance - its creed and its inspira tion. Some Of its most brilliant writers became prime ministers in Australia and generals in the American War for the Union. If we have helped any one to a higher and nobler life, we have our reward, as, refreshing as the fountains to captive Israel in the desert.
