See what is got by those extravagant and presumptuous speculations which have taught your leaders to despise all their predecessors, and all their contemporaries, and even to despise themselves until the moment in which they become truly despicable. by following those false lights, france has bought undisguised calamities at a higher price than any nation has purchased the most unequivocal blessings! france has bought poverty by crime! france has not sacrificed her virtue to her interest, but she has abandoned her interest, that she might prostitute her virtue. all other nations have begun the fabric of a new government, or the reformation of an old, by establishing originally or by enforcing with greater exactness some rites or other of religion. all other people have laid the foundations of civil freedom in severer manners and a system of a more austere and masculine morality. france, when she let loose the reins of regal authority, doubled the license of a ferocious dissoluteness in manners and of an insolent irreligion in opinions and practice, and has extended through all ranks of life, as if she were communicating some privilege or laying open some secluded benefit, all the unhappy corruptions that usually were the disease of wealth and power. this is one of the new principles of equality in france. .
