Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adventures of a Roving Diplomatist
What I have said may serve as some explanation of the present publication, and my excuse for it is short and simple. It is true I felt the most poignant reluctance to make public the secret relations I once held with a leading minister of thy-british government, not only from a deep sense of propriety, but from the respect I have always entertained fix Lord Palmerston, in spite of his harsh behavior to me. Still, it was necessary that the public imputation on my veracity by the British consul at Genoa, who declared that I never had any connection with the English government, should be as publicly removed; and furthermore, I con sidered that some atonement was due for all the disrepute and suffering so wantonly heaped on me. Up to this mo ment Lord Palmerston has, for his own reasons, constantly thought fit to decline giving me his cc-operation to obtain either the one or the other. I submit, then, as incontest able, not only my right, but the propriety of my laying this second vindication before the world, for this is one of those cases that not unfrequently occur, where law and equity af ford no remedy, but where the ends of justice are satisfied by the sympathy and support of the public.
