The power Of What is called Society"
in France was prodigious during the
years which preceded the Revolution
and even throughout the whole of the
last century. Those light and varied
forms which are peculiarly its own
have probably hindered our historians
from noticing the origin and following
up the effects of this outcome OF mod
ern civilization | have often thought
of it. The following are my views in
this connection. In those countries
where the origin of the present forms
of government is lost to view in the
mist of ages, the influence of Society
must needs be immense. Where, on
the contrary, the constitution is but OF
recent date, and, consequently, still
present before mems eyes, this influ--
ence is null. Thus it is, that Athens
and Rome in ancient times, England
and the United States Of America in
our own day, have had and have nc.
"Society."
