Excerpt from Universal Classics LibraryThis was a Splendid opportunity for great soulswith great courage, if any had existed. The old prophets of Israel would have made the hills echo with their ringing denuncia tions of wickedness in high places. Strong champions of human rights would have ¿ashed the sword and fired the spirits of men worthy the name into triumphant vindication of the common right to fair play.. But the patriotism of the period was a sorry substitute for the genuine thing. It whined and whispered when it should have shouted. It meekly accepted the 7513 of the deaf and dumb Fenella, popping out here and there with mysterious gesticulations and enigmatical signalings, which conveyed meanings of momentous importance, or none, according as one chose to interpret them. The reformer spoke with a muzzle on his mouth, and sometimes it was a golden one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
