ents d'une nouvelle
legislation, mais meme ses derniers details dans une etude approfondie
de la morale.--LETROSNE, _Reflexions sur la Legislation Criminelle_,
137. M. Renan appartient a cette famille d'esprits qui ne croient pas
en realite la raison, la conscience, le droit applicables a la
direction des societes humaines, et qui demandent a l'histoire, a la
tradition, non a la morale, les regles de la politique. Ces esprits
sont atteints de la maladie du siecle, le scepticisme moral.--PILLON,
_Critique Philosophique_, i. 49.

[105] The subject of modern history is of all others, to my
mind, the most interesting, inasmuch as it includes all questions of
the deepest interest relating not to human things only, but to
divine.--ARNOLD, _Modern History_, 311.
