RIVES, of Virginia, "CASTLE HILL, May 22, 1866. "I mentioned to you that a world of engagements of one kind or another, together with feeble health, had compelled me to defer reading the work of Mr. Lunt, of which you sent me a copy some time ago. I have now, however, read it with equal pleasure and instruction. It unrolls with uncommon power and clearness one of the most eventful and extraordinary chapters in the history of man—the singular combination of circumstances, which, after a satisfactory and apparently final settlement of a question that had long disturbed the repose of the United States, hurried the nation, in spite of itself, into one of the most gigantic and bloody civil wars of which there is any account since the world began. Many of these circumstances occurred while I was out of the country, on my second mission to France, and I acknowledge myself indebted to Mr. Lunt for a knowledge of them which I never before possessed. "It is an awful lesson of what may be effected in a popular government, when the check is lost of a few controlling spirits, whom the people had been accustomed to follow, by the self-seeking and venal agency of low-minded and intriguing politicians. This is the great lesson of Mr. Lunt's book; and he deserves the thanks of every enlightened friend of republican institutions, for setting forth in so clear, however painful a light, the series of iniquities through which the demoralization and final agony of the Republic was brought about. He has united, in a rare degree, the philosophy of history to the sagacity of a contemporary observer; and the day will come, if it is not now, when his book will be recurred to for most valuable instruction. I hope you will express to him my obligations for the instruction, as well as entertainment, I have derived from reading it." |
