Un rampante et lâche politique Tient lieu de tout-est le merite unique: Le zéle affreux des dangereux devots Contre le sage arme la main des sots, Et l'Intérêt, ce vil roi de la terre Pour qui l'on fait et la paix et la guerre, Triste et pensif auprès d'un cofrefort, Vend le plus faible aux crimes du plus fort." IT is with the kingdoms of the earth as with the flowers of a garden; -they gradually emerge from the gloom of barbarism to enjoy awhile a florescent greatness, decline, and die. Thus there seems to be an inseparable analogy between the operations of nature and human society; in both, there is a rise, a fall, and a middle state of luxuriant existence. In this middle state of luxuriant existence, England is at present placed: for, notwithstanding her accumulating debt, and the late pecuniary convulsions, a hurried glance at her external appearance, might suggest omens of increasing grandeur, and valid national importance. Her banners still wave triumphant, her conquests are progressively advancing, and the name of a Briton is yet a passport to applausive respect, throughout each zone of the globe. If we revert to our domestic situation, there is something, even here, to gratify a Partial observer. Suppose him to be one of the modern philanthropists, whose alluring motto is, " Homo sum; nil humanum a me alienum puto" and the language of his heart might be: -Thank Heaven, the tyrannic throne of rank is beginning to totter, the people are becoming universally intellectual, and the original dignity of mankind Books, History~~General, Age-Reviewed~~Robert-Montgomery, 999999999, The Age Reviewed, Robert Montgomery, 1115473719, BiblioBazaar, , , , , BiblioBazaar<
