Philosophism claims her new Era, meaning thereby innumerable things.

And claims it in no faint voice; for France at large, hitherto mute, is now beginning to speak also; and speaks in that same sense.
A huge, many-toned sound; distant, yet not unimpressive.

On the other hand, the Oeil-de-Boeuf, which, as nearest, one can hear best, claims with shrill vehemence that the Monarchy be as heretofore a Horn of Plenty; wherefrom loyal courtiers may draw,--to the just support of the throne.

Let Liberalism and a New Era, if such is the wish, be introduced; only no curtailment of the royal moneys?
Which latter condition, alas, is precisely the impossible one.
Philosophism, as we saw, has got her Turgot made Controller-General; and there shall be endless reformation.

Unhappily this Turgot could continue only twenty months.
