Excerpt from A Lecture on the Present Attitude of England Towards the United States: As Determined by Personal Observation
I met other persons who took similar views of the Amer ican war, men who have judged of it in perfect consistency with their life-long hostility to Negro slavery. It is my Opinion that such men are more numerous in proportion in Scotland than in England.

Excerpt from A Lecture on the Present Attitude of England Towards the United States: As Determined by Personal Observation
Ladies and Gentlemen: -
You will not expect to be entertained to-night with the novel and thrilling incidents of foreign travel. I appear before you for no such purpose, but to report as well as I am able, the results of my observations, during a sojourn of three months in Great Britain, of the existing state of British opinion and feeling toward this country, and to assign what seem to me to be its causes.
I enter on the performance of this task, with a strong conviction of the importance of what I have undertaken to do; for he who shall at this time successfully discuss the subject I have just indicated, will throw a great deal of light on the present and prospective condition of Britain, and on her relations to the cause of freedom all over the world. He will also present to the American people a higher and a juster view of the value and importance of our own free institutions, and strengthen the purpose to perpetuate them at whatever cost of precious treasure, and more precious blood.
I deeply feel my own inadequacy to so great an undertaking, and throw myself upon the indulgence of my hearers; especially begging them to bear in mind the impossibility of dealing thoroughly and satisfactorily with so great a subject, in the space of a single lecture.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed analysis of why, at the time of its writing, the government and people of Great Britain held distinctly negative views towards the ongoing American Civil War efforts. The author traveled extensively throughout the UK and engaged with people of all classes, including royalty, and noted that while there was some sympathy for abolitionist views, there was widespread opposition to the union's cause. Through his observations, the author discovered that the British aristocracy viewed the North's success as a threat to their political and financial positions, leading them to secretly favor a Southern secession. The author also notes how this fear was shared to a certain extent by middle-class citizens, who relied on their loyalty to the aristocracy to maintain their social and financial standing, and by many members of the clergy who were closely tied to the upper classes. The book provides an in-depth examination of the interconnectedness of British society, class structure, and the ruling class's attitudes towards democracy, ultimately concluding that the British generally supported the Confederacy's cause as they saw it as a way to preserve their societal structures and way of life.
