unreliable as i _£ "groves to be , lias _nevertheless dpxie good service , inasmuch as it Las called forth revelations of 1848 from one of
the most remarkable actors in the events which _tlien took place . Revelations made withsuch earnestness and sincerity as must

patient and consistent in their application under difficulties almost inconceivable , dignified in the midst of failure and defeat , as in long
and painful exile , M . Louis Blanc adds fresh lustre to the cause of all who strive and suffer for the progress of humanity .
