Excerpt from Dolores: A Historical Novel, With an Introduction to Mazzini You did accept my proposition, although, ex pressing 'your doubt in the circulation and extension of Dolores, at the present epoch in Europe - where the defence of the universal cause of freedom and humanity is considered as a crime, and all literary works in the same spirit are prohibited, even before they are published. I decided on a voyage to the United States, for the purpose of a new Edition of Dolores, - without parting from my hopes as a Euro pean, with regard to the victory of truth and common sense in future.
