kingly right did not correspond with the present Conservative definition of kingship-but we regard ed him with profound respect; and though we in no way saw how such a settlement was to be attained, we indulged the hope that he would some day be able to take the place which naturally belonged to him amongst our leaders. He had always told us that he alone could fill it; constantly, unchangingly, with the imperturbable conviction of conscious royalty, he had assured us for twenty years that nobody but himself could rescue France from her ever-recurring trials; that he, and no one else, could heal her sores; that he alone could guide her back to peace, to faith, to honour. Many of us believed him not in one land only, but everywhere; the idea that a Legitimist restoration might save France from socialism, and strengthen Conservatism throughout Europe, acquired strength; we looked to the Comte de Chambord as a champion and a guide. But when, at last, impossibilities had disappeared, when the obstacles of twenty years had vanished, when the verdict of the Chamber was the one remaining point in doubt, then the Comte de Chambord informed the nation that he would not undertake to save it.

The change which has come over opinion during this generation has been so vast, that it is surely quite unnecessary to refer to it as an argument that we shall probably go on changing. It is from this progressive light alone that the Comte de Chambord can be fairly judged; it is not by going back with him to St Louis or even to Henri Quatre, that we shall attain a standpoint from which we can command a view of all the elements of the subject. We must not look at it from the past, nor even solely from the present, but from the future too; for as the ser

vices which he would have rendered us would have been more felt hereafter than at once, so the wrong which he has inflicted on us will become more and more visible with time. The theory of hereditary monarchy has been growing so weak of late years in some of the countries round us, that it can ill support to be abandoned by its own special representative; and it may well be feared that this last damage will so discredit it that Frenchmen will believe in it no more. If so, another landmark will have been swept away, another principle will have disappeared, another rallying-flag will have gone down, another obstacle to Radicalism will have been suppressed; and when the French have to choose again-and it looks as if the necessity would soon arise-between a Master and the mob, they will revert to "modern monarchy," to an elective democratic empire, and will forget that the Bourbons were once Kings of France, and that there is still a Bourbon left.

So are fading out the ties between the present and the past, so are sinking from our sight dynastic forms which once gave solidity to constitutions, so are swelling up new forces which no Government can control. Some day we shall have to recognise those forces as stronger than all kings; some day they will change our whole social organisation; and when that day comes-when our children are face to face with problems for which no invention can discover a solution,then, when the Conservatism of the future has ceased to defend kings against the people, and is using its utmost strength to defend the people against itself then it will be remembered that when the flood was rising the Comte de Chambord refused to help to check it—then the full value of his desertion will be rightly understood.
