Excerpt from Italy and the War of 1859: With Biographical Notices of Sovereigns, Statesmen, and Military Commanders; Description and Statistics of the Country; Causes of the War, &C With a strong faith in the Wisdom of old proverbs, I am confident that, as regards the volume which is here laid at the feet of the public, the adage, Good Wine needs no bush, might be quoted, to Show that italy and the war OF 1859 needs no introduction. Yet I cannot restrain from expressing my Opinion that such a book is desirable, and Will be useful, if not necessary, at this crisis, When the fairest portion of Europe appears likely to regain her nationality, When Napoleon III. Is heading French armies upon the battle-fields upon Which his illustrious uncle achieved his first renown, and Where Austria, so long the heartless and cruel oppressor of the Italians, has already sustained many defeats, and appears on the eve of expul sion from Lombardy and Venice.
