A Confederation of the Nations, Its Powers and Constitution
Excerpt from A Confederation of the Nations, Its Powers and Constitution
I have ventured to print, in the hope that it might possibly be of some use to those of my countrymen who are thinking about these things, a somewhat enlarged form. Of a lecture I had the honour of delivering at King's College, in the University of London, on November 20. I do not claim to be original (i should be afraid if I thought that I were) I only hope that I have stated clearly, in as short a space as I could compass, some of the essential considerations in the grave theme I have sought to discuss.
