Excerpt from Four Lectures Upon Recent Events in Italy: Delivered in the New-York University, March, 1851 In consequence of the desire expressed by several American citizens, that measures should be taken, by means of lectures, to diffuse more generally among their fellow-countrymen a knowledge of the origin, progress and projects of the movement in Italy, I have prepared a course of four Lectures upon these points. Since the earliest days of the ancient Roman Republic, that state exercised immense influence over all its neighbors, till eventually its power became predominant over the known world. There were then peculiar reasons for that greatness - some of these causes yet exist - but some have passed away, never to return, unless the world should recede in civilization, and leave Italy alone in possession of the arts of war and of peace. In the ancient world (if I may be permitted that expression) Italy was so situated, geographically, as to be about the centre: dividing the Mediterranean Sea into two parts, and commanding not only the finest military, but likewise the best commercial position.
