tempted 10 vindeate this influence by pluuging
the world into war, and by inbuing the French
mind with an overwhelming love Of military glory
and conquest. These attempts have miscrnbly
failed and France is now severely admonshcd to
attend in future TO the education Of her own
people on her own soil, and not to intoHicatc her
