peace, which she knows so well how TO use but she must
not fear unnecessarily which should inspire her,
not with the love Of sterile glory the thirst for

expansion of the principles of 49, and of reestabshing
European equilibrium upon more solid bases than those
that the volcanic eruptons Of oppressed people
throw periodically every ten years.
