Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principal Features of the History and Literature of Poland
Foe more than half a century, Poland has been an object of attention to the statesman and the philosopher, and a constant theme of sympathy to the civilised world. Yet, strange to say, the voice of truth, although repeatedly raised by the brightest intellects on behalf of her sacred rights, passed away as if unheeded, leaving only a satisfactory recollection, as a legacy to posterity, that crime of such a magnitude as the dismemberment of Poland was not suffered to take place unnoticed. But, whilst the sentiments of indignation of the just manifested themselves periodically, studying the suitableness of the occasion, the guilty parties spared no effort in disseminating false statements, with the object of palliating their conduct. Germany, in particular, furnished a host of apologists, strong in the spirit of enmity and malignity, that takes delight in crushing its victim with the weapons of vindictiveness and calumny.
