Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the United States, Vol. 10: From the Discovery of the American Continent
My request to make further researches in the English archives was cheerfully granted, and in the most liberal terms, by the Earl of Granville, and the permission was continued by the Earl of Derby. Indeed, there seemed to prevail in the foreign office a readiness to let every thing be investigated and made known respecting the past policy of Great Britain toward the United States. The Ameri can government has manifested the same disposition, and this I hold to be Wise. The two great cosmopolitan nations are entering on a new era in their relations to one another; and their statesmen may mutually derive lessons alike from the errors Which disturbed the past, and from What was done well. The rule in natural science that life divides is equally true of nations. The United States and Great Britain Will each live its great and divergent life but it is to be hoped that the same ideas of freedom, truth, and justice Will be developed in them both, and bring them nearer each other.
