Excerpt from Lectures on the True, the Beautiful and the Good God, author and type of humanity, who, after having evidently made man for an excellent end, will not aban don him in the mysterious development of his destiny. This philosophy is the natural ally of all good causes. It sustains religious sentiment; it seconds true art, poesy worthy of the name, and a great literature; it is the sup port of right; it equally repels the craft of the dema gogue and tyranny; it teaches all men to respect and value themselves, and, little by little, it conducts human societies to the true republic, that dream of all generous souls which in our times can be realized in Europe only by constitutional monarchy.
