 | | It is true, that Kossuth, as he leads poor Hungary by the hand, concerned alone for her deliverance, is guiltily forgetful of others. |
 | | Nevertheless, when we look at Kossuth's great and lofty object, and at the self-sacrificing benevolence with which be pursues it, we can pardon much in him, which we would not pardon, were it the offspring of selfishness, instead of patriotism. |
