Beneath the rule of men entirely great The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold The arch-enchanter's wand!—Itself a nothing— But taking sorcery from the master-hand To paralyze the Caesars—and to strike The loud earth breathless!—Take away the sword— States can be saved without it!" —Bulwer-Lytton, Richelieu It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. Edwin A. Grozier, the Editor and Publisher of The Boston Post, and the courtesy of his employees who have offered me every assistance in the preparation of this manuscript. S. W. B.
