Promising no gossip about lords and ladies, Horace Greeley of the New-York Tribune crossed the Atlantic in 1851 to serve as a juror at the Great Exhibition in London. His letters cover the Crystal Palace and its machines, British labour and politics, Paris, the Alps and Italy, where he weighed hopes of a republic after 1848.
