n in France, the aristocracy were steeped in licentiousness and profligacy. But a glorious nation rose in its might—hurled down a throne encrusted with the miseries of the people—annihilated the bloated and infamous nobility—and even gave the proud and arrogant clergy such a lesson as they have never since forgotten. The aristocracy of France have never recovered that blow—and, thank heaven! never will. The hereditary peerage exists no longer in France; and titles of nobility are valueless. Thus, by virtually destroying the aristocracy of rank and birth, France has suppressed a sewer of filth and corruption which distilled its abominations through every grade and phase of society. The aristocracy of talent has been substituted; and the mechanic may now rise to be a minister—the ploughman has his fair chance of becoming a politician—the delver of the soil can aspire to the post of deputy. France is regenerated: England can become so only by the destruction of its hereditary aristocracy. E FIRST REVOLUTION IN FRANCE THE ARISTOCRACY WAS STEEPED IN LICENTIOUSNESS AND PROFLIGACY BUT A GLORIOUS NATION ROSE IN ITS MIGHT HURLED DOWN A THRONE INCRUSTED WITH THE MISERIES OF THE PEOPLE ANNIHILATED THE BLOATED AND INFAMOUS NOBILITY AND EVEN GAVE THE PROUD AND ARROGANT CLERGY SUCH A LESSON AS THEY HAVE NEVER SINCE FORGOTTEN THE ARISTOCRACY OF FRANCE HAVE NEVER RECOVERED THAT BLOW AND THANK HEAVEN NEVER WILL THE HEREDITARY PEERAGE EXISTS NO LONGER IN FRANCE AND TITLES OF NOBILITY ARE VALUELESS THUS BY VIRTUALLY DESTROYING THE ARISTOCRACY OF RANK AND BIRTH FRANCE HAS SUPPRESSED A SEWER OF FILTH AND CORRUPTION WHICH DISTILLED ITS ABOMINATIONS THROUGH EVERY GRADE AND PHASE OF SOCIETY THE ARISTOCRACY OF TALENT HAS BEEN SUBSTITUTED AND THE MECHANIC MAY NOW RISE TO BE A MINISTER THE PLOUGHMAN HAS HIS FAIR SHARE OF BECOMING A POLITICIAN THE DELVER OF THE SOIL CAN ASPIRE TO THE POST OF DEPUTY FRANCE IS REGENERATED ENGLAND CAN BECOME SO ONLY BY THE DESTRUCTION OF ITS HEREDITARY ARISTOCRACY
