The transformation of this once elefgant institution into a barrack for soldiers is no unapt representation of the general charac- ter of the French Revolution in the hands of the anarchists first, and of Buonaparte after- wards. The errors of the previous system were destroyed, but it was to put violence and vulgarity in their place : careless and fierce soldiers ; fortune-hunting generals, and kingdom-hunting marshals, were given to the country in lieu of its hereditary nobi- lity ; while a n...ew and capacious military despotism was the exchange for a civil one of long standing, and of mild administra- tion. Angers possessed a university of some fame ; the teachers in it were ecclesiastics, and it was of course destroyed. The name and the house remain, but not the pupils and professors. Two schools were esta- blished in lieu by Buonaparte : one at which K 130 ANGERS. the sciences conducive to expert military practice are taught, another at which gene- ral education is given. Like most consi- derable French towns, it has its public library and its Musee of art.
