ens, at & time whan be bod little

England." la that work ho re
ferred to lag American Revolution,
iU cause and its result. He spoke

write, it is honorary remsykable u3
protecting its subjects, wherever
they may travel, with, a dignity and
a determination which is a model
for England."

deli'jerct- words of the m^u whoee

William L. Marcy was then Secre
tary of Stat->, having succeeded Ed

Daniel Webster. That was seven j
years before William Jennings Bry

fore Woodrow Wilson was born. We
should dislike to hear what Dickens
would say on taat same subject
now. Bur 'The past, at least, is I
