Royer-Collard had just given his first lecture at the Sorbonne to an
audience of three hundred persons against the philosophy of Locke
and Condillac (1811). Napoleon, having read the lecture, says on the
following day to Talleyrand: "Do you know, Monsieur le Grand-Electeur,
that a new and very important philosophy is appearing in my
University... which may well rid us entirely of the ideologists by
killing them on the spot with reason?"--Royer-Collard, on being informed
of this eulogium, remarked to some of his friends: "The Emperor is
mistaken. Descartes is more disobedient to despotism than Locke."]

exact to state that every emission of written ideas, every historical
mention, even the most remote and most foreign, became a daring and
suspicious matter."--(Journal of Sir John Malcolm, Aug. 4, 1815, visit
to Langles, the orientalist, editor of Chardin, to which he has added
notes, one of which is on the mission to Persia of Sir John Malcolm) "He
at first said to me that he had followed another author: afterwards he
excused himself by alleging the system of Bonaparte, whose censors, he
said, not only cut out certain passages, but added others which they
believed helped along his plans."]

agree with Napoleon and therefore liberally fund plans to place agents
and controllers in all the Universities in the World hence ensuring
politically correct attitudes. (SR.)]
