DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Memoirs of Joseph Sturge The writer of the following work is by no means convinced that it is an unmixed advantage for the memoirs of an individual to be published very speedily after his death, especially if he were one who had taken any prominent part in connection with public affairs. Still, for the sake of others who may think differently, he cannot but regret the delay that has occurred in the appearance of this volume. But there were many reasons why it was out of his power to accomplish his task sooner. He was so placed that he could only work at it by snatches, in the intervals of official duties always exigent, and sometimes very urgent, which it was impossible for him to pretermit. The work itself, also, proved a much more serious one than he anticipated, when he first acceded to the request with which the family of Joseph Sturge honoured him, to prepare some memorial of the life and labours of his revered and beloved friend. Mr. Sturge was a man whose sympathies were so broad, and whose activities were so varied, that to tell intelligibly the story of his life it was necessary to understand something of most of the leading public events of the last thirty or forty years.

The following is the official reply of the Emperor of Russia to the Friends' deputation: -- ' Sa Majeste l'Empereur a recu PAddresse presentee par la Deputation de la Societe des Amis avec une vive satisfaction, comme l'expression de sentiments entierement conformes a ceux dont II est anime lui-meme. Sa Majeste a horreur comme eux de la guerre, et desire sincerement le maintien de la paix.
