'It may, perhaps, said Mazzini, 'be more to me, but you are right, it is a belief in the supremacy and ultimate victory of the conscience. 'The victory seems distant in Italy now, said Baruch. 'I do not mean the millennial victory of which you speak, but an approximation to it by the overthrow of tyranny there. 'You are mistaken; it is far nearer than you imagine.
When the first rumours that something was preparing in Italy reached Monte Video, Garibaldi wrote a letter offering his services to the Pope, still hailed as Champion of Freedom, and soon embarked himself for the Old World, with eighty-five of his best soldiers, among whom was his beloved friend, Francesco Anzani. Giacomo Medici had been despatched a little in advance to confer with Mazzini.
'You are now to learn that, about a century ago, this castle was in the possession of Vincent, third marquis of Mazzini, my grandfather. At that time there existed an inveterate hatred between our family and that of della Campo.
These pamphlets alienated Mazzini and Mill, and provoked the assault of the newspapers; which, by the author's confession, did something to arrest and restrict the sale. Nor was this indignation wholly unnatural.

I would not have committed such an absurdity, even in my palmy days, when I conspired with Louis Napoleon, sat in the councils with Godefroi Cavaignac, or wrote instructions for Mazzini, then only a beginner with his Giovina Italia, and his miscarried Romarino attempt in Savoy. Of what earthly use can be such politique provocatrice towards England?
She seemed unwilling to wait, and Baruch and she went slowly homewards, thinking the others would overtake them. The conversation naturally turned upon Mazzini. 'Although, said Madge, 'I have never seen him before, I have heard much about him and he makes me sad. 'Why? 'Because he has done something worth doing and will do more. 'But why should that make you sad?
Upon these and their life he sustained, he fattened, he enriched his poetry. Mazzini in Italy, Gautier and Baudelaire in France, Shelley in England, made for him a base of passionate and intellectual supplies. With them he kept the all-necessary line of communication.
