Excerpt from Patriotism and Christianity, Vol. 1: To Which Is Appended a Reply to Criticisms of the Work, and Patriotism, or a Letter Called Forth by the Venezuelan Dispute Between England and the United States
When the French and Russian squadrons met they greeted each other with salvos of artillery, and with ardent and enthusiastic cries of Hurrah! Long live Russia Long live France!' To all this uproar the naval bands (there were orchestras also on most of the hired steamboats) contributed, the Russian playing God save the Tsar,' and the French the Marseillaise,' the public upon the steamboats waving their hats, ¿ags, handkerchiefs and nosegays. Many barges were loaded entirely with men and women of the working class with their children, waving nosegays and shouting Long live Russia!' with all their might. Our sailors in view of such national enthusiasm, could not restrain their tears.
