Excerpt from Count Cavour: His Life and Career The greater portion of this little Work is taken from a Continental source of unquestionably high authority, and the whole lays claim to no superior rank than belongs to the unpretending labours of a compiler and translator. It is hoped, however, that it may not prove unacceptable, as contributing to make more widely and intimately known to the British Public, the career of one of the most remarkable and successful of living Constitutional Statesmen. Count Cavour already fills a large space in the history of the time, and his future is likely to prove quite as eventful as his past. The Italian Question is as yet very far from a settlement, and the man who, more than any other, holds the key of it in his hands, is generally the cynosure of many eyes, not only in the Peninsula but also throughout Europe at large.
