Description
Excerpt from Italian Characters: In the Epoch of Unification
If it is true that the uniting of Italy was achieved by the union of Italians, it is no less true that it will be only destroyed in the event that the nation forgets the existence of something superior to faction, something more sacred than party. It is for the young generation to learn this lesson that it may hand down intact the heritage acquired at so great a cost by those who died and suffered. Comte used to say that it was the dead who governed the living. My best wish for Italy is that she may be governed by her heroic dead.
To the young, with whom lies the future, I dedicate my book, which whatever are its shortcomings, was written come amore spira a love not new, that will last while I live.
