In a word, 1 The Secret Service of the Confederate States in Europe (1884), vol. Ii, p. 393. THE PLEADINGS 133 the American Case is an attractive book to read. In its handy shape, as printed at Leipsic, one may turn over its pages to-day, and read them with the certainty of becoming interested in the lively narra- tive of the many stirring events of which they treat. The chief aim of the Case is to set forth the duties which Great Britain as a neutral should have ob- served towards the United S...tates, and to point out in what particulars she failed to perform those duties. This purpose is accomplished by the use of plain terms. The opening chapters describe the struggle to maintain the Union, the attitude of the British Government towards the United States, to- gether with the circumstances in which the Confed- erate cruisers were built, and were allowed to go to sea. Lastly, there is a statement of the claims made because of the destruction of vessels and their car- goes, because of the losses of individuals, and the expenditures of the Government; the loss in the transfer of ships from the American to the British flag; the enhanced payments of insurance, and the expenses consequent upon the prolongation of the war, due, it was contended, to the presence of these cruisers upon the ocean.
