"(Edinburgh, 1806) I., 176. "The nobility, the great landed proprietors,
the yeomanry, the lesser farmers, all of the intermediate ranks who
might oppose a check to the power of a tyrannical prince, are nearly
annihilated."--Ibid., 236. "Scarcely an intermediate rank was to be
found in the nation between the sovereign and the peasant."--Ibid., II.

and manufacturers or the bourgeoisie of France, are those who were the
most decided enemies of Bonaparte."]

[Footnote 3308: Napoleon, desirous of forming an opinion of him, said

Leipsic, 1806-1808 (by Eymory) 4 vols., and the "Almanach imperial" for

these the ladies of the palace. In 1810, Comte de la Rochefoucauld

[Footnote 3315: See the collections of songs previous to the Revolution,
especially military songs such as "Malgre la bataille,"--"Dans les
gardes francaises," etc.--At the time of the Restoration, the pastoral
or gallant songs of Florian, Bouffiers and Berquin were still sung in
