Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life, Character, and Policy of Count Cavour: Delivered in the Hall of the New Historical Society, February 20, 1862

Cavour regarded the projects of Mazzini as utterly powerless to lighten the burden of domestic rule and to emancipate the country from foreign domination. A practical man by nature.

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life, Character, and Policy of Count Cavour: Delivered in the Hall of the New Historical Society, February 20, 1862

When Pericles was called upon to deliver the funeral oration of those who had fallen in the first campaign of the Peloponnesian war, according to Thucydides, he began by extolling Athens, and having expatiated on her glories, her institutions, her laws, her sciences and arts, he concluded by exclaiming: "For such a republic, for such a country, the men whom we mourn fell and died." In meeting to do honor to the memory of Cavour, the most illustrious statesman of our time, if we were to follow the example of the Athenian orator, we could pay him no higher tribute than to dwell on the glories and calamities of the country which he was destined to restore to its nationality.

Enclosed by the great boundary of the Alps on one side, and encircled on the others by the sea, with an extensive coast indented with innumerable gulfs and bays, where the navies of the world might ride in safety, closely bordering on Africa, surrounded by a chain of islands, the natural highway and entrepot of commerce between Eastern and Western Europe, Italy seems to have been designated by the very hand of nature as the home of a great nation. Her people, the growth of ethnic varieties, long since, by the action of ages, moulded into one stock, speak substantially thee language, are nursed by the same literature, and bound together by the same civilization and historical associations.
