Through the past year, M. de Lamartine has published a monthly journal, called The People's Counsellor, |
Le Conseiller du Peuple.| Each number of this journal contains an Essay, by him, on some specific subject, of pressing interest to the French people, -- generally, some political subject.
As a companion to one of these numbers, he published the Essay which we here translate. We have thought that its interest and merit are by no means local; but, that it will be read with as much interest in America, as in France.
