The Pearl of the Antilles (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pearl of the Antilles

What Prim himself had probably little chance of accomplishing, could scarcely be undertaken by the statesmen who succeeded him, least of all by those who acted in the name of King Amadeus I. A foreign sovereign whose accession to the throne had called forth so. Lively and inveterate an hostility, was the last man who could venture upon any attempt to disin tegrate the monarchy; and whatever may have been the real mind of the king himself, or of his responsible advisers, their language must needs be an echo of the popular clamour, that Even if Spain shorfld perish, Cuba must not be lost.
