Excerpt from The Parallel Between the English and American Civil Wars: The Rede Lecture, Delivered in the Senate House, Cambridge, on 14 June 1910

It is for this reason that I have chosen an historical parallel as my subject to-day. The two events which I shall try to compare or contrast have a special interest for me one is the first political event in which I was interested as a boy, the other has been the study of my manhood. Their comparison has often been suggested by American writers. Mr J. F. Rhodes, for instance, in his History of the American Civil War, says, The most interesting and instructive parallel to this period of our history is the great Civil War in England.
