- The hour when history speaks with its free and venerable accent, has not yet sounded for him; the moment has not come to pronounce a definite judgment on this king; the austere and illustrious historian Louis Blanc has himself recently softened his first verdict; Louis Philippe was elected by those two almosts which are called the 221 and 1830, that is to say, by a half-Parliament, and a half-revolution; and in any case, from the superior point of view where philosophy must place itself, we cannot judge him here, as the reader has seen above, except with certain reservations in the name of the absolute **democratic** principle; in the eyes of the absolute, outside these two rights, the right of man in the first place, the right of the people in the second, all is usurpation; but what we can say, even at the present day, that after making these reserves is, that to sum up the whole, and in whatever manner he is considered, Louis Philippe, taken in himself, and from the point of view of human goodness, will remain, to use the antique language of ancient history, one of the best princes who ever sat on a throne.
  L'heure où l'histoire parle avec son accent vénérable et libre n'a pas encore sonné pour lui; le moment n'est pas venu de prononcer sur ce roi le jugement définitif; l'austère et illustre historien Louis Blanc a lui-même récemment adouci son premier verdict; Louis-Philippe a été l'élu de ces deux à peu près qu'on appelle les 221 et 1830; c'est-à-dire d'un demi-parlement et d'une demi-révolution; et dans tous les cas, au point de vue supérieur où doit se placer la philosophie, nous ne pourrions le juger ici, comme on a pu l'entrevoir plus haut, qu'avec de certaines réserves au nom du principe **démocratique** absolu; aux yeux de l'absolu, en dehors de ces deux droits, le droit de l'homme d'abord, le droit du peuple ensuite, tout est usurpation; mais ce que nous pouvons dire dès à présent, ces réserves faites, c'est que, somme toute et de quelque façon qu'on le considère, Louis-Philippe, pris en lui-même et au point de vue de la bonté humaine, demeurera, pour nous servir du vieux langage de l'ancienne histoire, un des meilleurs princes qui aient passé sur un trône.
