The favorable result of all undertakings de-

the world no less than thc vegetation of the seeds
does upon the soil into which it is cast; those
who have proceeded farthcst in their attempts,
and gained the point at which they aimed, had
the stream in their favor, and were more indebted
to the strength of the current than to their own
individual efforts their superiority to others con.
sisted chiefly in their superior discernment; and
they seemed to lead their contemporaries, merely
because they themselves were most led by the
spirit OF the age, and took favorable situation
for being borne forward by the tide, which they
had the sagacity TO see was upon the turn. The
Greeks would have conquered the Persans with
out Alexander; the Romans would have been en-
saved had Cesar never been born, and the Ara
