To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Danish Crown bought land and no promise. If King Christian IX. Would consent to restore these estates to the rightful owner, the House of Augustenburg would be too happy to recoup his Majesty by paying back the comparatively very scanty indemnity which the Duke received in 1852. I know very well the common report, which says that the Duke was a " rebel, " and that as such the King of Denmark had " confiscated" his property. Va victis ! But I think there are in these happy islands many who, ...if they knew the true history of this " rebellion, " would exclaim with Cato, " Victrix causa Diis placuit, sed victa Catoni. " The fact is, that there has never been a judgment against the Duke, and that the whole accusation rests upon ex parte statements of the Danish Government, who had the power, but certainly not the right, of con- fiscating the private property of a princely house connected with the reigning sovereign. I inclose my card, though my name would give no more weight to the foregoing statement, which is based on facts undisputed, as will be easily ascertained.
