Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 67 It was a fortunate thing for the world, as well as for the two countries immediately interested, when, in 1842, the British government determined to send a special envoy to the United States, to negotiate upon matters then in controversy, that Mr. Webster was our Secretary of State. The fact that he was then in office undoubtedly was the chief inducement with the English ministry for taking the extra-ordinary step of sending to us a special minister; and they were equally wise and fortunate in selecting as their agent a nobleman fully competent to discharge the trust reposed in him by his own government, and possessing the high qualifications of friendly feelings towards this country, and of respect entertained for him here. The great transactions in which these eminent persons were concerned, as the representatives of two powerful nations, have now become matters of history; and the first thing that strikes us, six years after they took place, is the absence, on this side of the water, of that degree of appreciation which is due to the American negotiator´s great productions on several of the topics involved in the correspondence.
