Selections From the Writings of Henry Theodore Tuckerman

Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Henry Theodore Tuckerman: For Private Circulation In Lamartine's admirably written report on the foreign policy of France, when describing the late revolutions in Europe he says: "Sicily rose against the domination of Naples. She first claimed her constitution. Irritated by refusal, she heroically reconquered her soil and her citadels. Tardy concessions no longer appeased her; she demanded a complete separation - she convoked her own parliament - she proclaimed her self mistress of her own destinies, and avenged her long subjection to the Bourbons by declaring that the princes of the House of Naples should be forever excluded from all possibility of succeeding to the constitutional throne of Sicily."
