Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treaty of Arbitration, or a Code of International Law, the Basis of Peace: An Address Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: The magnitude of this assembly has surprised my anticipation. A New Englander addressing for the first time an audience like this of Old Englanders and from a London platform, should have a large inheritance of English pluck if he would not realize something of the perturbation of the school-boy who essays his first oration. In discharging the duty assigned me, however, I am more disturbed with the consciousness that I can add nothing of thought or motive to what has been so happily and forcibly urged by the distinguished speakers who have preceded me. Much less can I hope to contribute any new argument to the rich and cogent literature which since the close of the Napoleonic wars has been given to the cause of peace. As delegates, we bear the credentials of no one of the numerous peace and arbitration associations of the world, nor are we the accredited agents of any congress or institute of international law; but, moved by the same transcendent purposes, as members of an older and broader organization which seeks the brotherhood of mankind, we speak for that peace which is "the ultimate condition of all progress in religion and civilization."
