We are permitted to make the follow
ing extract from Lamartines history of
the French Revolution of lstS," now in
press by Philips, Sampson g. Co.:
"Louis Philippe of Orleans was of a
revolutionary race though prince of
the blood. His father had plunged into
the most deplorable excesses of the con-
yention. lie had made himself popular
not through the glory, but the attrocity
of his epoch and the faults of the father
were the pledges of the son in the eyes of
the revolution of 1880.
Still Louis Philippe was too honest
and adrolt man to redeem the sangulna-
ry promise of his name to the revolution
that proclaimed him king. Nature had
made this prince man of probity and
moderation; exile and experience had
made him politician. The difficulty of
his part as prince among democrats and
democrat among princes, in the com
mencement of his life rendered him su-
pile to circumstances. patient with events
and temporlzing with fortune. He seem
ed to iorsee that destiny owed him a
throne. In the meanwhile he enjoyed
the pleasures and virtues of family rela-
tons in retired modest, and rreproach-
able domestic life He had always a
tribute Of respect for the reignng mon
arch, and Il smile of intelligence for the

throne, gentle, humane, and peaccablc,
brave by birth, but abhorring bloodshcd;
it might be said that nature and art had
endowed him with all the qualities which
make up popular king, with one excep-
