'We hope, therefore, We and Our subjects will regard these sacred precepts with one and the same heart in order to attain the same ends. Then the Governor and the Head-master speak a few words dwelling upon the full significance of His Imperial Majesty's august commands, and exhorting all to remember and to obey them to the uttermost.
The purpose in these precepts is not evident, and opinions are divided as to whether they have any purpose. I will endeavor to show, says Maimonides, that these also have one or more of the following objects: to teach true beliefs and opinions, to remove injustice and to inculcate good qualities.
Fourthly, always to remain in the condition of the Tournebouches, who are now and forever drapers. To marry your daughters to good drapers, send your sons to be drapers in other towns of France furnished with these wise precepts, and to bring them up to the honour of drapery, and without leaving any dream of ambition in their minds.

Hadria pronounced the paradox, "The sharpness of the insult lies in its not being intended." Miss Du Prel could not prevail upon her to modify the assertion.
This science is one, and, whatever Xenophon may say of the education of the Persians, it is indivisible.
