"... 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.
