years played with Clowns and the heads IN them as
with foot alls-when he said that Europe must be
Republican or COsSack.
Now what was the ground of this prediction by
Napoleon Simply thls-that he saw that the ex.
isilI Governments of Europe were all rotten and

see that 1t is by TO means an entirely peaceiul one:
How can light or darkness be recOnced, or prevail

mixed twilight system which we now behold-that
system which is neither absoutism nor freedom, but
