Evidence: | 'Have been reading the "Quarterly Review" on Lyell's tour in North America. The "Quarterly" rejoices, quite generously, in American Art, and "Progress", and so forth - but is mainly solicitous that the Americans should - for their own sake, fo course - stay at peace. "For", says the generous reviewer, "As the future of America, to be a glorious future, must be a future of peace, so we would hope that it may be fruitful in all which embellishes and occupies and glorifies peace." - Most balmy language!' |
