Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ...still plays false, then, if L. N. wills it, Mazzini would be powerful, and do the business; and humbug as Kossuth is, he might, as a rallying name for the Hungarians, be of some use. But the Poles have lost their nationality, and are become hired assassins all over the world: there are a few good men among their generals, and that's all. When Poland did exist it was quite as bad a despotism as Russia--serfs and nobles were the population, and the nobles actually wiped their feet upon the serfs to prove their humbleness, i.e. degraded position. It was a good stalking-horse for poor Lord Dudley. Once you take them up, and the bank of England would not supply the demands upon your purse, and when you ceased to give, they would begin to denounce their patriotism, and their view of patriots is money. Tuesday Night (after the Post). You say why does not L. N. send troops directly to the Crimea; he is doing so, but we cannot expect him to send a sufficient force to gain the day without some arrangement with England, which doubtless is the object of Lord Palmerston's mission. We must incur some risk, either a money risk or men risk, and the question is asked here, suppose England pays for keeping of the men, their transport and accoutrements (the latter when injured), how is the man himself to be paid for? Suppose, as in many cases in the French army, he is the only son of hardworking parents, and he falls as a hired man, what compensation do you make for the man? or, as they say, and very truly, is the man counted as nothing? the value being only what he consumes while living, either in food or material? There must be some contingent for the surviving family, or there will be difficulty in managing the matter. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart. When I...

Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ...marriage with a popular comedian is well known. London, September 9th. Dear Master Devil, is writing to you at this moment. He is staying here a close prisoner. I believe he returns to Lady at Hastings on Sunday next. He is quite unchanged, and perfectly happy where he is; but he still talks about cutting Richmond-terrace, &c. &c.... I say all I can to induce him to have patience, but he will hardly listen to me on that subject. You ask me why I at first said I should want 600/. or 700/., and then mentioned 1000/. The fact is I mentioned the first sum without looking at my book, which I did before I wrote again. The following is a list of all I owe: --Stodart 47 Nisbett 100 Pattison 146 293 Gattie and Pierce. 87 Howell and James. 141 Lauchnick... 9 Gunter 20 Miller.... 60 Marie 26 Hall 88 Ramsay..... 29 Angus.... 20 Lear 30 Walker.... 24 Adams, due Jan., 1834 176 Mortlock.... 60 Ball next year... 200 Duthie's I have not yet got--he is out of town. The amount of all, you will see, is 1313/., therefore nothing under 1000Z. would be of service to me. Adams and Ball 192 PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. need not be paid until January; that takes off 376/., and I must have some money (and that soon) to go on with. I give you my honour that I have at this moment only between 30/. and 40/. in the world, therefore my funds must go before Saturday next. What is more, though you intend to tell E. about the money, pray let me a little into the secret, for fear that he should ask me some question which I might find awkward to answer. What do you think of the Age? I intend to see Westmacott to-morrow or next day, but money is of no use with him, unless a very large sum, which I have not got to give. I do not grumble at not playing...
