No doubt, during that period, the human race has experienced great misfortunes and cruel catastrophes; yet it may still applaud itself for the progress it has made, France, of course, is uppermost in our thoughts; France gave the impulse to all the other nations; France has dear- ly paid for her experience; conquering or conquered, she has seen professed, in her name, the most opposite doc- trines; and she vvas forced to submit to the governments which were given to her by all the extreme parti...es. No doubt she may express her regret; no doubt she may still entertain fears; no doubt she may complain that recent periods have been strongly marked with a retrograde character; but if she places herself at the distance of twenty-five years back, and from that point of view considers what has taken place within this quarter of a century, she will perceive that she has gained more than she has lost. Ideas of justice and pub- lic order have been developed and strengthened; political knowledge has been universally spread; the two parties have in a great measure abandoned their prejudices; the classes which repelled constitutional forms have become attached to the power which they have acquired under them, even while they abused it.
