purpose. His long residence in Italy, his intimate
acquaintance with all that is there distinguished for literature,
science, art and statesmanship, and his unquestionable liberality of
sentiment, as a politician, give him a paramount claim to our
respectful attention, and even to our confidence, when he comes
forward to enlighten his countrymen, with respect to Italian
affairs--a claim to which no other member of the legislature can have
the slightest pretensions. He has, too, throughout a long public
career, always maintained such an independence of character, and so
nobly and generously subordinated his personal interests to his
sense of public duty, as to entitle him as a right to our
confidence, when he unbosoms himself either in print or in speech,
of that knowledge which he has acquired by long study and experience
in official and non-official life, and tells us important truths
which it is necessary for us to know, in order to be able to form a
correct judgment upon momentous passing events."--_Weekly Register_,
