He observed that the word nochri which means a stranger , had no reference-to religious belief , but only to the country or state ; that . the verb tassich , which means to make profit , 1 was

    applicable to the foreigner , not to the felfoiv-countryman . And that the substantive ahiah 9 which means brother , was to be taken in the acceptation of felloiv-countryman and not offelloiu jfetv * He observed , that the law was purely political ; and that what preceded and what followed proved sufficiently , that

    given you this vast empire , to rescue it from the abyss into which it was apparently hurried by the selfish views of jarring factions . After rendering Franc & illustrious by your victories , you have given it peace , the first blessing on earth ; you astonish the universe , you exhaust admiration by holding up to wondering mortals the model of the wisest , the
