It did not need to wait for the first manifestations of the spirits which were produced, I believe, in 1847, in the United States, through the Fox family before decreeing that spirit rapping came from the Devil.
When, a few years ago, the tiny last of the Manchu emperors came to the throne, an edict was published decreeing that, to fit him to govern the empire, the greatest care should be taken with his education in music. A wisdom, truly, that the west has forgotten! The kings of Chow adopted the same plan. Their old duchy palatinate became the model for scores of others.
But his theatrical conduct in decreeing by law the existence of a Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul, and in organizing tawdry festivals to supply the place of worship, utterly embittered against him both atheists and pious people. In disappointed rage at his failure, he laid aside the characters of prophet and mild saint to give vent to his natural wickedness and to become a devil.

At the same time entails were either definitely abolished, or the obstacles to cutting them off were removed. In New York the manorial privileges of the great patroons were swept away.

And, wonder of wonders, the landlords themselves had agreed to the fiat decreeing their own extinction as a ruling caste. It was with heartfelt hope and relief, and with the sense of a great victory achieved, that the country received the wondrous news of the success of the Land Conference.
The law, by decreeing that every child of a freeman and a slave woman must follow the fortune of the womb, thus making him the property of his mother exclusively, practically robbed him before his very birth of the nurture and protection of a father.
He says, he had in vain, upon a former occasion, appealed to their honor, liberality, and generosity, that he now appeals to their justice; and insists upon their decreeing this bribe which he had taken without telling them from whom, where, or on what account to his own use.
