His reign, from his accession to the throne down to the meeting of the States-Gleneral, was nothing but a series of ameliorations, which did not succeed in calming the public effervescence — of concessions which only... added to the am- bition of the people. He had the mis- fortune to desire sincerely the public good, without possessing the firmness requisite to secure it ; and with truth it may be said, that reforms were more fatal to him than the continuance of abuses would have been to another so- vereign. 5.
