Published by D. Appleton and Company at 443 & 445 Broadway, New York. Printed in Boston by John Wilson and Son, 5 Water Street. Various articles on diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the United States. Preface states the articles first appeared in the "Boston Daily Advetiser." Claims "There is no subject of greater present concern than the position of England in reference to her relations, as a neutral nation, to the United States; and none, probably, soon to become of more engrossing public thought and anxiety." Gets into the history of neutrality laws and discusses British support to Confederate blockade runners and other incidents on the high seas. Is against British recognition of the Confederates as lawful belligerents. Says "it is marvelous, that, when a word from her of revocation, or threatened revocation, of her recognition of them [Confederates] as a lawful belligerent, would instantly suppress these atrocities, or render their future perpetuation impossible" (page 69).
Charles Greely Loring was a lawyer, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 2 May, 1794; died in Beverly, Massachusetts, 8 October, 1867. He was graduated at Harvard in 1812, studied law in Boston, and for many years was a well-known member of the Boston bar. He was actuary of the Massachusetts hospital life-insurance company from 1857 until his death, and in 1862 he served in the state senate. He was a member of the American academy of arts and sciences, and of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Mr. Loring was an eloquent and effective speaker, including an oration on the death of Edward Everett, whom he succeeded as president of the Boston union club, and an address at the meeting of Boston citizens after the assassination of President Lincoln. Harvard gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1850. Besides addresses, he published " Neutral Relations between the United States and England" and "Life of William Sturgis" (1864).
