Excerpt from Macmillan's Magazine, 1871 It is my lot always to be on the unfashionable side. Seventeen years ago I saw no reason to dread Russia, and every reason to dread France. Last year, to my amazement, I found myself going along with a popular cry. I was at once surprised and delighted to find that the glorious struggle in which the German nation was engaged - a struggle to free itself from the French aggression of the moment, to make French aggres sion impossible for the future - awakened general sympathy in England. Since then the tide of public opinion has turned the other way, and I find myself left in a state to which I am far better used. The Odd logic which turns against a cause allowed to be righteous, simply because that cause is victorious, is alto gether beyond me. It is not often that right and might go together. But I cannot believe that right is turned into wrong, simply because, for once in a way, might has become its companion.
