Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Precedents of American Neutrality, in Reply to the Speech of Sir Roundell Palmer, Attorney-General of England, in the British House of Commons, May 13, 1864 The writer hopes that his use of the terms "Precedents of Neutrality," upon his title-page, will not deter any, who might otherwise be interested in his pamphlet, from looking further into it, through fear of encountering only something purely technical and legal. He does not use "Precedents" as if he were going to treat of "Pleading" or "Practice," but, in the broadest sense of the term, as Historic Instances, "teaching by example." In this sense he hopes that his compilation or summary of American Precedents will address itself favorably to Englishmen, for whom it is mainly intended, as appealing to that well-known English element of action which rejoices in taking what is good in the past for a rule of conduct for the future. Would that the instances which he collects of American neutral conduct belonged to English history, and made part of the British national code! Then, certainly, if there were any of its old sense of honor and magnanimity left in the nation, we should see no such paltering course of action as has marked the Alabama and Alexandra cases, and, more recently, has displayed itself in this Georgia decision, to which the writer more immediately addresses himself.
