Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Annual Publication of Historical Papers: Series VIII Out some Of its sophisms and frauds, I began to lose ground with my own countrymen. This dates from 1828, when I published some Observations on the hostility Of Great Britain to this nation. After having passed years in foreign countries, I affirm that I know no state Of society in which liberal sentiments are so little relished as in our own, among the upper classes. It may not be safe to speak truly in Europe, but take a Rus sian even, out of his own country, and he will have (as a rule) more sympathy with political freedom, than an Amer ican Of the higher classes. I might distrust this, were the Opinion confined to myself, but I know that others Of the same opportunities, think as I do. How long this is to con tinue, or where it is to end God, alone, can tell, but the illiberality Of American travellers, and Of many, perhaps most Of the agents employed abroad, is a subject of general complaint among liberal Europeans. It is one Of the causes Of the low condition Of the national character abroad, for, while one set deprecates our testimony as injurious to human rights, another despises us for the meanness.
