You trust to the present condition of society, without re­ flecting that it is subject to unavoidable revolutions, and that you can neither foresee nor prevent what is to affect the fate of your own children. The great are brought low, the poor are made rich, the king becomes a subject. Are the blows of fate so uncommon that you can expect to escape them? We are approaching a crisis, the age of revolutions. Who can tell what will become of you then ? All that man has done man may destroy. No characters but those stamped by nature are ineffaceable ; and nature did not make princes, or rich men, or nobles.
