Excerpt from Two Letters to the Earl of Aberdeen, on the State Prosecutions of the Neopolitan Government
I must begin a letter, which I fear you will find painful, nay revolting, to the last degree, with offering you my cordial thanks for the permission to address it to you.
After a residence of between three and four months at Naples, I have come home with a deep sense of the duty incumbent upon me to make some attempt towards mitigating the horrors, I can use no weaker word, amidst which the Government of that country is now carried on.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed account of the rampant injustice within the Neapolitan government during the mid-nineteenth century, with the author claiming the government took part in numerous illegal activities, including the imprisonment of political opponents. The author argues these activities stem from the governmentâs absolute hostility to any form of progress, with the king and his ministers being responsible for overseeing what is essentially a ânegation of Godâ in their approach to governance. The text makes clear that this is no mere bureaucratic error but a systematic, deliberate, and brutal attack on the very people who helped preserve the kingdom from Sicilian secessionists, with the government silencing opposition voices through imprisonment, physical torture, and even execution. As an indictment of tyranny, this book serves as a reminder of the devastating, dehumanizing impact that unaccountable power can have.
