Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Letters to the Earl of Aberdeen, on the State Prosecutions of the Neopolitan Government My Dear Lord Aberdeen, 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. As I shall have to detail startling facts, and as I cannot avoid in describing them the use of the strongest language, I must state at the outset, that it was not for the purposes of political criticism or censorship that I went to Naples. Circumstances purely domestic took me and kept me there. I did not carry with me the idea, that it was any part of my duty to look for grievances in the administration of the Government, or to propagate ideas belonging to another meridian. I admit, in the most unqualified manner, the respect that is due from Englishmen, as from others, to Governments in general, whether they be absolute, constitutional, or republican, as the representatives of a public, nay, of a Divine authority, and as the guardians of order. I do not know that there is any other country in Europe, I am sure there is none unless it is in the south of Italy, from which I should have returned with anything like the ideas and intentions which now press upon my mind.
