Overview

Excerpt from Dissertations and Discussions, Vol. 3 of 3: Political, Philosophical, and Historical The instantaneous disappearance of virtues, dominions, princedoms, powers, - of all the men who by their Station, or their capacity, or their habits of government, or even their habits of business, had a claim to rule the affairs of their country, - was succeeded by the sudden lifting-up to supreme power of men, who, with the single exception of my illustrious friend M. Arago, were either wholly unknown before in any way, even to their very names and existence; or who were known as authors of no great fame; or who were known as of so indifferent reputation, that they had better have not been known at all; and M. Arago, the solitary exception to this actual or desirable obscurity, himself known in the world of science alone.
