public a success; in the Seventeenth century
the British had their revolution, and in the
Eighteenth century the Amerlcans-these
three revolutions being simply the three sue
cessive stages in a serial development OF con-
stitutional liberty. The Latin races followed
at great distance, though the American
revolution communicated the impulse; and
between 1857 and 1867 occurred in sur
prisingly regular succession the French,
Spanish, Portuguese, Spanish American and
Italian revolutions. The same year, 1857,
witnessed the construction of the United
States constitution and the assembly Of the
notables for reform in France; in the same
year, 1889, the first American president was
naugurated, and the French people stormed
and captured the Bastile, an event celebrated
by ali our French born citizens on the l4th of
July. The revolution thus happily begun
was soon extended to Spain, and this gave
occasion for revolt to all Spanish America;
so one by one the provinces on this continent
became republics. Thus the fall Of the Bastile
Is Justly regarded as the central point OF all
modern revolutions--a sort of international
Independence day.
