Excerpt from An Authentic History of the Cato-Street Conspiracy; With the Trials at Large of the Conspirators, for High Treason and Murder; A Description of Their Weapons and Combustible Machines, and Every Particular Connected With the Rise, Progress, Discovery, And To those, who are accustomed to look with an observant eye upon the causes which lead to the fall and destruction of nations, the present epoch offers materials for their most weighty consideration. They have seen their country involved in one of the most destructive and arduous contents ever recorded in its annals; they have seen the combined force of the civilized world directed against its very existence; they have witnessed its unexampled and glorious struggle; the loyalty and patriotism of the people, and finally they have beheld it, rising at the close of the contest, not subdued nor conquered, but towering with renovated fame and luster, and scattering to their loathsome dens the dark demons of anarchy and ruin; they beheld the industrious artisan returning to the shuttle - the laborious peasant to the plough - the war-worn soldier was seated at his native hearth telling the story of his battles, and the weather-beaten sailor, in the fullness of his pride, was glorying in the wounds obtained in the defence of his country.
