Excerpt from Italy and Its Inhabitants, Vol. 1
I must request the reader not to lose sight ofthe date of my journey. I visited Italy at a sad time: and I hope to God that much of the misery which I then witnessed no longer exists. But its source is not dried up: the atrocities and suf ferings which I lament, have a perennial spring in the state of things established by short-sighted politicians.
