XXxn INTRODUGtION. 



" You may have a parliament, you may have a government, you may have a 

 great Minister, eminently desirous for peace, and none more so than the 

 government now in power; but no government, no parliament, no Minister, 

 can do anything in this direction, unless sustained and compelled by the voice of 

 public opinion." 



To this we must look, not only in England, but in every 

 constitutionally-governed State, and I would commend this great 

 cause to all who desire, to see "Truth and justice, peace and 

 concord," prevail amongst the nations of the world.
