It is in vain to look for any particular defects in their various organizations to explain their downfall ; in all the systems, the citizens have assumed in a greater or less degree to be capable of self-govern- ment ; and when this ceased to be the fact, the destruc- tion of their institutions was heard. In countries where the sovereignty is confined to one, or to a (ew, education may be a luxury to the many, but where the people is 13 sovereign it is a necessity. The Constitution of the Repub...lic of Vaud places, as first of its fundamental articles, the equality of every citizen in the eye of the law, and deduces, as a consequence, that his duty to the State requires him to be educated. Some of the mon- archies of the old world present the curious spectacle of the general education of the people. This is wisely done ; for the authorities may well prefer to direct and control the bent of the mind in the progress of its devel- opment, rather than to leave it uncultivated to its own impulses, or to action upon it without.
