To Joseph Mazzini. London, November 3, 1...
to bow to their bullying demands . I do not ask you to reside in Piedmont . Keep up your own independence in blessed England , as I do ; but unite in spirit , and in word , with those who are so generously and so honourably guiding the destinies of Piedmont , and there upholding the hope as well as the honour of Italy . Mazzini , be at peace with the Piedmontese ; Austria Romeand Naplesare a sufficient field for the most
, , unweary activity . Turn all your efforts against them , and leave Piedmont alone . This I ask , not that Piedmont has any longer aught to fear from you , but because it is a crying shame and scandal to Italy and to Europe , that men like you and D'Azegho should not go hand in hand , because you two , or rather the principles that you two represent , if combining in one mighty effort , would still save us ; whereas , as yet you have only been neutralizing
each other . Be a friend to Piedmont ! Behold , that land is now the refuge of all that Italy can boast upright and generous , Turin has become the capital of all houseless Italy , of thinking , suffering , militant Italy . You have still partisans there : it depends on you alone to have none but friends : it is never too late for you . It can never be derogatory for you to stoop to reconciliation and compromise . The Italians may disagree with your opinions , but never questioned the uprightness of your motives . None of your bitterest adversaries but bowa to the superiority of your genius , the excellence of your heart . The day between
that should announce a good understanding you and the Moderates , would be hailed in Italy as half a battle won . I repeat : a good understanding with Piedmont need not imply a renunciation of a little of your Republican views . It is lawful for a man ( witness that terrible Brofferio ) to be a democrat , as lawful as in England itself . Nay , I am not sure but a reconciliation with Piedmont may not be the speediest means of bringing about the triumph of your own dearest views . I am not at all sure but the day may come when Farini , D'Azeglio , nay , Victor Emanuel himself , though his trade is to be a kingmay be fain to declare themselves Republicans . All
I ask of you is : let the Democratic question be at rest for the present . Let us all with one mind work at the other great question : the national one . Democracy , Socialism , Chartism , are being debated in other more competent communities , under more favourable auspices . Let them be adjourned amongst us for the present—adjourned till the revindication of our national rights enables us to discuss them in a calm , peaceable manner . Let the cause of Italy be uppermost with you now , a 3 it was in 1831 , when we first met both young exiles at Marseilles , when your beaming countenance and fiery speech won all men to you for life .
First amongst my countrymen—having my own views , but as 1 believe not bigoted to them—I offer your my hand . Mazzini , I have never done you wrong . I have done nothing towards you or towards Italy that should prevent your accepting once more the pledge of a friendship that has so long existed between us . I have been , and I defy any one to assert the contrary , a frank , truthful , independent friend to you , as well as an upright honourable opponent . You are now estranged from me—you do not answer the letters I privately address youyou force me to this public mode of appeal .
It is not for my own sake that I would solicit « renewal of our former intercourse . I have learnt to suflice to myself . But it is in behalf of Piedmont and Italy that I offer you my hum ) , with some hope that I may be instrumental in . reconciling you with men who are worthy of you . What concerns me alone matters but little . Only join hands with D'Azeglio , with Mamiiuni , with Saliceti , and Sirtori ; be a fiiend to those who would fain build up an Italy in Piedmont , and I Hhall not feel aggrieved if you do not condescend to think any more of your friend and brother , L . Mahiotti .

11 O M (]• : O P A T II Y . November , 4 , 1 KM . Sm , —I find that to some extent you advocate homoeopathy , your liberality prompts you to give free utterance to everything , and your love : of progress to udvociite all that stems most forward . The reasons I admire , but I think the causes in question belongs to the backward . We must make Home exceptions , we must stop our liberality somewhere . Miss Canary ' s dignity stopped at taking in the cui ' h meat . My liberality is small towards homoeopathy , and I will give only a few flhort reasons why youru nhould be bo too . 1 . It denicH all the established laws of physics and
chemistry . When anything does this , we at once call it a delusion . It asserts that matter of a certain kind , and almost of every kind , increases in power as it decrease in bulk . We know the contrary . We know that the greater the quantity the greater the power and in exact proportion . By this law , and its related laws , a planet was found out . This makes the horologe of the heavens keep better tune than the newest patented clock . Also , if a " >« ui can carry only 1 c \ vt . of coals , ho never finds that by adding
another the weight becomes lighter ; it is always the contrary . Homoeopathists assert the contrary ; that the minuteness gives power . But if they leave their original principle and say that it is the dynamatizmg by minute division , then , again , they are wrong and further wrong , because they are ignorant that almost all the elements are to be found everywhere . When the earth of a field has been examined , arsenic has been often found . Copper , gold , silver , arsenic , have been found in ordinary and wholsesome plants ; copper in men ' s bones , silver in the ocean , dynamatize more thoroughly than any homceopathist would insist on , and by their own means . In fact , we can prove that every element is in all places by the wear and tear it undergoes in society . Matter acts physically in proportion to its quantity .
2 . Chemically , a drop of sulphuric acid makes a pleasant draught if put into a tumbler of water ; but use much and you are killed , use more and you are made into a cinder . The more used , the more determined the Tesult . How can it be otherwise ? even chemical equivalents cannot get over the fact that the more there is of one thing , the more its effect will predominate . If five grains of arsenic kill one man , ten grains will kill two . But the fact is , we have more sulphate of soda and phosphates in our salina than would dose a score of homoeopathic patients according to the rule , whereas we are not dosed . We have more silica in our food
in a wonderful state of division , than would put a patient into convulsions ; and every drop of water we drink has as much silica in it as would drive scores into a strange homoeopathic state . But ignorance of this causes their strange blunders . Neither can they say it is not dynamatized . It happens to be beautifully so , better than they can do it , as far as their meaning of dynamutizing goes ; and we have it in their own propositions , and in every conceivable proportion .
3 . I can find no true homoeopathists who believe what their faith is founded on , and who deny what I say in practice . They use small quantities , but of the most powerful medicines , as much of them as the faculty dare to do . They do not trust to their principles ; but as small quantities make an essential , they keep to that , and leave out the essence of their principle by using such powerful medicines that small quantities are alone possible . 4 . They diet very well , but attribute its effects to
their medicines . Although they have advanced far in the knowledge of diet , at least in Germany , they never apply their principles to it , nor endeavour to fatten an invalid on water diluted with adrop of soup . In conclusion , I for one refuse to call that a science which has avowedly a mere theory for its foundation , not yet supported by facts , but contradicting known facts ; and I believe that , in our great readiness to give ample justice , we often place ignorance , superstition , and inefficiency on a level with knowledge and sound judgment . Hephaistes .

November 1 , 1851 . Sik , —In to-day's " Open Council" I find a short and angry note from " Video , " censuring you for devoting so much consideration to homoeopathy , and condemning that system " as an insane idea or a vile deception . " I , Sir , will not discuss this question with " Video , " hecause , from the uncourtcous tone of his first note , I am led to believe him abler with Blander than argument , with abuse than refutation . It does not palliate hia harshness that Liebig was dogmatic , for
authority oven in science is often wrong . But I can assure him , from personal experience and experiment , that homoeopathy is more potent in treating the diseases incident to animal life than allopathy , even in the hands of its most successful practitioners . Being neither professional nor learned , I am neither confounded by the subtleties nor influenced by the authorities of medicine . I judge from observation alone ; and from observation I must consider allopathy to be , in the mass of human ailments , powerful to destroy and impotent to save . Whilst I am compelled to believe , on the other hand , that homoeopathy cannot injure and will often cure .
1 do not contend for principles , but for facts . Logic cannot destroy succeyn ; and that homoeopathy docs succeed is , in the language of the Jew , *? sufficient . " Youru truly , Kakniiht .
