And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Louis XV's Coronation Crown. And yes, bring them all back! No absolute monarchy with its attendant aristocracy could ever do worse than the depraved creatures now in power. Have you ever noticed? : they murdered their kings, but live in their palaces and love to pavane about the great staterooms in marble and gold. Pretenders are all waiting in the wings - in Portugal, France, Germany and Russia, notably. Thank you for this.
