followed by the Britifh government to- 
wards France, during the laft years of the

** Envres pofibumes de Mably,’ &c. 
Pofthumous works of Mably, 3 vols. 8vo. 
The fame ef Mably may only be confi- 
dered as a proof of the low condition of 
political {ciense in France, before the 
revolution; an unhappy circumitance, 
proceeding from the feverity of the old

the miftakes and horrors that followed.

politician than Mably, never attraéted 
public notice.

phy of politics, or general principles re-

have a fhort exiftence, and it is better that 
it fhould be infringed by the laws than by 
force ; and becaufe that a legal inequality 
protects liberty, when an inequality ob- 
tained by violence overturns liberty. —We 
ought to thew equal indulgence to thofe 
who believe religious fyftems, and to thofe 
whe do not believe.”’
