As a matter of fact, had they been dressed in less warlike garb and deprived of their swords and jack-boots, they would have passed as particularly mild-mannered men, for their conversation ran in the learned channels, and they discussed Boyle's researches in chemistry and the ponderation of air with much gravity and show of knowledge.
In that year the Royal Society, destined to be a chief agent in a long series of glorious and salutary reforms, began to exist. In a few months experimental science became all the mode.

But, it will be answered, suppose all were agreed.
Ceux qui admirent ses institutions et qui croient que leur ponderation est la garantie du plus precieux de tous les biens la liberte, se preoccupent vivement des tendances jacobines de notre ami Gladstone. L'extension du suffrage est logique, l'aneantissement de la chambre des Lords est logique. Mais les meilleures institutions ne sont pas les plus logiques.
