Text Appearing Before Image:
e midst of the most profligate court in the world, but he wasdevoid of self-reliance, firmness, or royal dignity.. Weak monarchies stake theirexistence at the precise moment when they wish to lighten the burden that restson their people; for the people shakes itself entirely fiee from the detested yokethat now is easily slipped off. Louis made experiments with a series of reforms,and revealed the weakness of the ancicn regime, when he promised to amend it.He may have shown in his proclamation to the attentive nation how disgracefitllyit had hitherto been treated, and under what shameful circumstances it had suf-fered and bled; but he soon revived these conditions and renewed the now doublyhated abuses. Though more disposed in favour of the union of all classes thanany other Bourbon, he nevertheless followed the principle, Divide et impera.WhUe he was the most unfortunate representative of absolute monarchy, he stULlooked down .with Bourbon pride on the position of a British sovereign.
