Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen, Vol. 2
I inscribe with your illustrious name the second volume of these dialogues, not because, of all the generals who have ap peared in our age, you have displayed the greatest genius, the greatest constancy, and, What is equally rare, the greatest con tempt of pleasure and titles, and wealth and offices, but because your energies have been all exerted, under severe and unre mitting adversity, in defence of law and civilization. Neither of these can exist in that country Where any one is above them, and can dictate through any organ.
