Excerpt from The Principal Features of the History and Literature of Poland
The memory of every Pole cannot but cling with the warmest attachment to the broken shadow of the departed Friend 'of the cause of their country, whose' love of justice, humanity, and freedom, gave a lofty character to his long ezer tions on behalf of the Oppressed and the unfortunate. The simple mention of Poland wakes almost imme diately the image of another thought that brings to the lips the name of the late lamented lord dudley coutts stuart. How natural that I, a Pole, should feel a desire to pay a tribute of the heart to a spirit so noble. I believe I may realise my wishes.
