No other modern nation has under
gone changes more frequent. more
radical, more sudden, bloody and
dramatic. In forms of government
France has boxed the compass-haS
been feudal, monarchical, imperial, re-
publican and revolutionary. She has
sounded the depths of royal absolut-
ism and of communistic anarchy; has
made and unmade constitutions in the
pathetic effort to get one that would
fit. has known a military despotism,
which bluntly told the women to marry
and bear children in order that Nupo-
leon might be continuously supplied
with troops; has known an absolute
monarchy, where a graceful manner
was more effective at court than a
head well filed with sense. and has
known government of the rabble, IN
der which there was an insurrection
against property, and death sentences
passed against citizens for the sin OF
wearing aristocrauc names and clean
shirts.-From "The Story of France.
