There are few who refuse to do justice to |

duous task Of inducing Prussia md Austria
TO listen, on the very morrow Of great bat

that he vas actuated by sincere desire to
render serTice 10 Europe Ia general, a. well

who thought and spoke on the subject enter

is little doubt that tho conviction was shared
