THE DUEL BETWEEN FRANCE AND GERMANY, WITH ITS LESSON TO CIVILIZATION.

LECTURE IN THE MUSIC HALL, BOSTON, OCTOBER 26, 1870.

"When kings make war,

No law betwixt two sovereigns can decide,

But that of arms, where Fortune is the judge,

Soldiers the lawyers, and the Bar the field."

DEYDEN, Love Triumphant, Act I. Sc. 1.
