Excerpt from Notes of the Buckingham Lectures: Embracing Sketches of the Geography, Antiquities, and Present Condition of Egypt and Palestine; Compiled From the Oral Discourses of the Hon. J. S. Buckingham, Together With a Sketch of His Life

Eastern tyranny, to think, to feel, and to speak, as every Eng lishman, proud of his country, his ancestors, and his laws, ought to do, so long as he hears that honored name. For thus presuming to carry with me from the land of my fathers that spirit. Which made England for so many years the Hope of the world, and which, infused into the early settlers of your own still freer country, and continued in their proud posteri ty, makes it now the Asylum and the Home of the Oppressed for this, and for this alone, I was banished by a summary and arbitrary decree, without trial, hearing, or defence; my pro perty destroyed, to the extent of not less than dollars, and the prospective certainty of another dollars at least cut cd', and annihilated at a single blow.
