ourselves. If we look abroad we may observe the pro-
gress which has been here made within the last sixty
years. Take but a single instance. Compare the reign
of terror in France at the close of the last century with
the sublime and awful moment when law and order were
rent asunder around the fallen throne of Louis Philippe,
and murder and rapine, seized with horror at their own
first impulses, dropped the red flag of blood at the feet
of Lamartine. But happier circumstances have, perhaps,
allowed this country to take the precedence here. It is
this milder spirit of humanity which has raised up all
those new questions, only heard of in the last century,
affecting the condition of the people—it is this which
seeks to carry health and cleanliness into the abodes of
misery and squalor—it is this which has directed merciful
attention even to the foes and outlaws of society. seeking
to reform criminals rather than punish them—it is this
which has introduced hopeful discipline into our prison
houses, and, except in the rarest eases, has struck the
punishment of death out of our criminal code. How
naturally, then concomitant with this development of
humanity, philosophy takes a moral material, a less
speculative direction than in the last century. I
grant that we direct philosophy towards nature in
order to improve the actual condition and the ma-
terial existence of man, and therefore we have been
called a material age —an age at variance with
spiritual objects, or what is called the poetry
of life. I cannot see the justice of this reproach.
In the last century the common object of philosophers
and reformers was bent upon destroying. All schemes
in politics were vague and indefinite objects, except the
one passionate desire to get rid of whatever existed.
That was caught from Voltaire and Payne. But the
object of this age is to construct rather than to destroy.
Ever since the peace there has grown up in these three
great races whom I have indicated as in the full progress
of civilisation, a great desire to educate the masses—in
other words, to level the disparities of instrgetien.
I (Hear, hear.) Now, of these three great communities—
the German, the French, and the English—the Ger-
mans are pre-eminent, especially in the kingdom of
Prussia, for the attention the State has devoted to
school instruction. And this school instruction is on
the whole most beneficial to the moral elevation of the
German people. Nevertheless, this uniformity of the
State drill has given rather a tameness and monotony to
the national character ; and the education bestowed upon
the boy is not sufficiently carried out to the man by
the civil institutions that keep ideas ever fresh and ener-
gies always braced. (Hear, hear.) The Germans are
very great, but perhaps—out of Leeds at least—they'
are rather slow. (Laughter.) Now, in France educa-
tion is far less diffused than it is in Germany, and it is
also inferior in its quality. But, as far as it has gone,
it has not been attended in France with that benefit to
the moral elevation of the people which we might have
anticipated. Indeed, it appears from the statistical
tables of M. Guery--and though these returns have
been disputed, the facts are really unquestionable—that
France is, perhaps, the only country in the world where
upon the whole there has been a greater proportion of
criminals well educated, who have been guilty of the
worst offences, than there have bees: criminals who are
altogether ignorant. But I will by- and. by show you
that this fact must not be taken as proving anything
against the great question of extended education. (Hear,
hear.) In Great Britain school education is far less ad-
vanced than it is in Germany ; and we are told—but I
doubt whether we are told correctly—that the school
education of Great Britain is inferior, as regards read-
ing and writing, to that of France. And yet I don't
know if I shall not startle you when I state that all the
ends of a sound national education are even now far
more efficaciously attained in England than they are
either in Germany or France. (Hear, hear.) The
ancient Athenians were the most intelligent community
the world ever saw, and yet there were few of those who
had conquered the Persians, or gazed on the Parthenon,
or listened to Pericles, or applauded the works of
.tEschylus and Sophocles, who knew how to read or
write. What was it that taught them to be aspiring
yet practical, to be valiant and yet human ? Why, that
which teaches the Englishman—the talk and the habits
of every-day life, the custom of self government, the
consciousness of liberty and the electrical transit of
stirring ideas, that comes from the common interest in
public affairs—(applause)—the constant intercourse be-
tween man and man, that frank publicity of opinion,
that sympathy of united numbers which cries to the
multitude, even to the unlettered multitude, every more
useful and vivid thought which genius or study origi-
nates in the few. (Applause.) . It is all this which
teaches the Englishman, and gives to our people their
superiority in the real enlightenment of their common
ideas, and the masculine energy with which they carry
their ideas into practice. (Loud applause.) We must
judge of the instruction of a people as we do of the
intellect of a man—by the fruit it displays. The people
of these realms exhibit an intellectual power not yet
found in those whom State policy may more instruct
as children, but whom civil authorities less nerve and
discipline as men. (Hear, bear, and loud cheers.) But
do not think that I am indifferent or lukewarm to edu-
cation in the common meaning of the word—to the dif-
fusion of cheap books or cheap schools. No. If we
gain so much from the mere fact that we are born in
England, accustomed to a free voice in all affairs, and
by inventive labour to reflect on what we would do to-
day and hope to do to-morrow, bow much more shall
we gain if, in addition to these primitive sources of mas-
culine ideas, we could add the refinement and the me-
thod which comes from early systematic education.
(Applause.) Sooner or later we may have this question
brought before us, and examined in all its details. For

theoretical in the suggestion, you must excuse me-for
two reasons—first, because I happen to be a bit of a
scholar, and I remember that the ancient Greeks were
the finest race of antiquity, because they considered that
a sound mind was only half a blessing, unless it was ac-
companied with a sound body; and secondly, because I
have been brought up and reared in the country, and I
learnt there a love for those old English sports which has
done me good service through life, for I never could
have gone through the brain work which I have con-
trived to do, in spite of a constitution naturally delicate,
if I had not, while the frame was yet growing, braced
the nerves and sharpened the energies by all the runs
and leaps, by all the balls I hit at cricket, and all the
kicks I received at football, and all the wild laughter and
joyous mirth which I owe to the dear old playground..

NAPOLEON'S GLORIOUS DAY-DREAM.

Napoleon 1., when directine, towards Europe the pre-
dictions that revealed themselves to his genius on a
lonely rock, did not confine himself to the fatal reflec-
tion that the nations of Europe might one day fail under
the iron yoke of Russia ; he had already fulfilled a well-
known prediction by announcing an 'alternative more in
harmony with civilisation—he had pointed out to them
the confederation or republic of States as a means of
safety. Long even before the epoch at which this pre-
diction is placed, Napoleon had formed a vague concep-
tion of a project of that nature, which he intended as
the crowning-stone of the terrible wars he was then
waging, and which ought to be regarded as the substance
of the idee Napoleonienne in the matter of foreign policy,
Some judgment may be formed of it by the following
remarkable words that preceded the acte additionnel.
"My object," he said, "was to organise a grand
Europtau federative system, which I adopted as in con-
formity to ttk? spirit of the times and favourable to the
progress of civilisation. In this view I postponed the
establishment of several domestic institutions more espe-
cially intended for the protection of civic freedom."
On the island of St. Helena, where the philosopher
and statesman had still more completely replaced the
captain, the noble captive thus expressed himself, as if
standing before the supreme tribunal of humanity :
" Europe awaits and solicits the foundation of a new
social system. The old world is at its last gasp, and
the new world is not yet settled. After the peace of
Amiens, I sincerely believed that the fate of France, of
Europe, and of myself was fixed, and the war at an end.
I was about to devote myself entirely to the administra-
tion of France ; and I am convinced that I should have
worked wonders. I should have lost nothing in point
of glory, but gained much in point of enjoyment. I
should have made the moral conquest of Europe, as I
was nearly doing by arms. Of what brilliant fame have
I been deprived !
"At the general peace, I entertained the project of
inducing every power to make an immense reduction of
the standing armies. I should have desired an Euro-
pean institute and European prizes, to lead, direct, and
associate together all the learned societies of Europe.
Then, perhaps, by means of true knowledge universally
diffused, it would become possible to dream for the great
European family the application of the American Con-
gress or that of the Amphictyons of Greece, What a
prospect does that open of greatness, happiness, and
prosperity ! What a grand and magnificent spectacle!"
Such were the reflections of the Emperor on the
gloomy and distant rock of St. Helena, whence he con-
templated with mortal anguish so many labours lost, so
many brave generals and soldiers sacrificed in those de-
structive wars. And this idea of a holy alliance among
nations was intended to prevent the recurrence of such
a state of things, and the horrors it entailed upon
Europe : it was at once an act of reparation and a legacy
worthy of his heart and genius. At a happier time he
had said, according to M. de Bonald, " It is my desire
that the reign of philanthropical ideas should be the
character of the age. To me such sentiments cannot be
imputed as a weakness. It belongs to the French
people, the gentlest, the most enlightened, the most
humane, to remind the civilised nations of Europe that
they are but one family." Finally, Napoleon declared
his feeling that any war in Europe would only be con-
sidered " a civil war."
These assuredly were large views and a grand poli-
tical system ; they were, however, frustrated and stopped
in their application by those fatal wars into which all
Europe and Napoleon himself plunged without looking.
An European institute ! An American Congress ! Am-
phictyons ! An European family ! Is not this the idea
of the association of States for which we are now offer-
ing up an appeal ? Is it not that lofty social synthesis
that reflected itself on the sometimes prophetic imagina-
tion of Joseph le Maistre when he exclaimed, "Every-
thing announces a grand amity, that approaches with
rapid strides, and which we should salute from afar ?"
