Capitolo 4
transcript of the Correspondence of Mason and Slidell, Confederate
Commissioners in Europe, and of the Mr. Charles Moore, Head of Manuscripts
Division, Library of Congress, for the use of the Papers of Schurz
copies that contain some consignments of Schleiden, Minister of the
Republic of Bremen in Washington during the Civil War. Especially thanks
it is due to my friend, the Mr. Herbert Hoover, for his/her first interest in this
job and for his/her generous help in the creation of transcripts that you/they are able
otherwise you/he/she has been over mine he/she wants to say. And, I finally, owe a lot to the
the ability and care of my wife that it constituted the whole typescript the Press,
and of who criticisms were invaluable.
It is any purpose of a Preface to point out results, but it is my hope
what with, I have trust, a calm comparison" of the evidence", now for the
before the available time to the historian, an enough true respect can be,
fact of that that the American Civil War meant Great Britain; as her
concerns him/it and as her it reacted to him. Shortly, my job is primarily, a
you study in British history in the belief that the American play had a
meaning of world, and particularly a British.
