Excerpt from The Life of Giuseppe Garibaldi

When influenced for good, no character was more glorious than Garibaldi's. For example, throughout the Sicilian campaign his bark was guided over those troubled waters with Cavour at the helm. Cavour had to combat at that time the Massim'an I'dea,' and for a while the two great political stars Of Italian freedom the Constitutionalist and the Republican - fought with occult weapons for the control over Garibaldi, who re presented the power. Eventually Cavour gained the day. And it was the proudest moment Of Garibaldi's life when he presented his constitutional sovereign with two crowns A word from Cavour could have arrested the expedi tion at its very outset, but he suffered it to proceed. A word from Cavour could have restored the Bourbom to Naples, and have roused all Europe against Garibaldi; but he determined otherwise, and then when he had used Garibaldi's power to the utmost limits, Cavour knew when to step in and prevent the rash folly with which Garibakfi would have marched on Rome and embroiled himself with France and Austria.
