Epist., Lib. I. Ep. I. 59.
" Let children sing Amid their sports, ' Do riglit and be a king.* " t Coasin expresses clearly and forcibly his views of the connection be- tween merit and demerit and the rewards and punishments rightfully inflicted by society. Histoire de la Philosophie du XVIW SiHcle, Vingti6rae Le^on.
