ABSTRACT
The seductive example of Garibaldi, toppling thrones and invading kingdoms with a handful of adventurers, which so attracts the poorer class, combines with the natural tendencies of the times, and the daily preaching of democratic newspapers, whose effects are felt much more in the countryside than in the capital. This preaching has been perverting the day labourer and worker, who see in Garibaldi a hero, in the republic a beautiful ideal, and, in anything to do with government and order, tyranny.1
