... relied, not on the false-hearted huckster of states and principalities, Louis Napoleon. MAZZINI Italy is one, Italy is free, but in the body, not in the soul. Garibaldi, you gave united Italy to a man, not to the nation. GARIBALDI I gave it to the King and hero, Italy's representative. I do not yet think that I did ill. The nation said, "He stands for me", and as a democrat I bowed to the voice... I pray that it may be to conquer, not by diplomacy, but by truth and ardent courage,— GARIBALDI Not by bargaining, but by the sword of the hero,— MAZZINI Not by kingcraft, but by love for humanity and a noble wisdom. Page 481 CAVOUR I shall be content, so that Italy conquers. GARIBALDI When the sword that was struck out of her hand by the Abyssinian, is lifted again, I shall... Early Cultural Writings Mazzini, Cavour, Garibaldi 07-November-1920 MAZZINI The state of Italy now is the proof that my teaching was needed. Machiavellianism rose again in the policy of Cavour and Italy, grasping too eagerly at the speedy fruit of her efforts, fell from the clearness of the revelation that I gave her. Therefore she suffers. ...

A Mazzini planning the republican freedom of Italy creates the party of New Italy, a Garibaldi filled with the same hope but bent on freedom first and republicanism afterwards forms his Legion of Red Shirts and holds the balance of parties, a Cavour full of grandiose schemes of a Kingdom of... Italy, and work for it, each doing something towards the common end which the others could not have done. Thus the purpose of God works itself out and not the purpose of Mazzini, or the purpose of Garibaldi, or the purpose of Cavour. Parties are necessary but they must have a common end overriding their specific differences, the freedom, greatness and splendour of their motherland. Only one party is ...

... But Nationalism is no more a mere ebullition of race hatred in India than it was in Italy in the last century.

... quite forgot about it. I am afraid I cannot just now think of any such book as you want. There is Marriot's Makers of Italy but that is not a biography nor anything like comprehensive. Bent's Life of Garibaldi is crammed full of facts and very tedious reading. I don't think there is any good life of Mazzini in English—only the translation of his autobiography. However, I will look up the subject and, if ...

It was here in Pondicherry that WS Iyer wrote in Tamil the biographies of Chandra Gupta Maurya, Rana Pratap, Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Napoleon.
