Excerpt from England and America: A Lecture, Delivered Before the Boston Fraternity, During His Recent Visit to the United States The lecture delivered before the Boston Fraternity, and published in the Atlantic Monthly, which you propose to reprint, and which I shall be most happy to see circulated under your auspices, is obviously the work of one who does not regard America as a foreign nation, alien to our political concerns, but as the great colony of England, accidentally and temporarily estranged from the mother country by the acts of George III., Mr. Grenville, and Lord North - acts against which Chatham protested and in which the English people had no share. This view, and the sentiments which correspond to it, may be erroneous, but they involve no want. Of loyalty or affection to our own country.
