Excerpt from Correspondence on the Present Relations Between Great Britain and the United States of America
The following Correspondence between an English and on American lawyer was not written with any purpose of publication. It is now printed by the advice of a few friends, by whom the letters were read as they were written or received; and who are of opinion that such a frank interchange of views, entertained by individuals on either side, possessing similar means of somewhat extensive information, entertaining each for the other cordial esteem, and entirely free from any pre-existing national prejudices or ill-will which could unavoidably temper the discussion, might aid in the format ion of correct'opinions upon t he painful relations subsisting between the people of England and the people of the loyal States of America in reference to the Rebellion.
No apology, therefore, need he made for the carelessness of style incidental to an off-hand corresponding ; nor for the incompleteness of views, which, under other circumstances, might have been more carefully elaborated.
It is necessary to explain that the "letter in print," alluded to in Letter I., was an article in a daily newspaper on the Trent affair, written by the American correspondent, (his initials being attached to it,) and by him forwarded to his friend in London, not, however, in the form of a letter, or addressed to any one but the editor of the newspaper.
