THE writings, character, and example of the Poet and iri GIUSEPPE GIUSTI Sat st, , are acknowledged through i out Italy, to have had no nconsiderable share in leading to the realization of the hopes of all true i i . Th e Ital an hearts idea of a Un ted Italy, so long w treated ith contempt or ridicule , as the dream of l i has ambitious usurpers or of restless po itical ex les, r at length attained a substantial fo m , and has been u acquiesced in and approved since successf lly achieved . - i l The hot headed and inexper enced youth , as we l as i the masses of the Ital an people, have , now for a suc cession of years, maintained an attitude which has won for them the respect and admiration of nations i in glory ng, like the Israelites of old, their superiority . The source of this rapid moral growth in a whole INTR ODUCTION . peopl e may be chiefly traced to the direct as well as indirect influence exercised by writers such as the modern Tuscan poet ; and though now little known beyond the confines of Italy, the verses of Giusti may perhaps some day be read with those of Dante , as marking an epoch in the history of their common country .

But a worse form of foreign despotism followed, and the people, who had been duped and betrayed at the Congress of Vienna of 1 15 ff 8 , have since then unceasingly o ered every kind of resistance to Austria and to t he other governments which were at that time forced upon them . The i Liberals d vided into two camps ; one, chiefly com o f posed young men, who met in secret to consult how to unite all Italians in the same aim , to soften i the j ealousies of the d vided States of the Peninsula, i to cherish the idea of a national ex stence , and to organize a force of volunteers to fight the battles of i .
