Il est vrai qu Il a su trouver les hommes qui devaient l'aider le __conseil d'état d'alors, recruté dans la haute bourgeoisie et composé d'hommes fortement instruits, était une pépimere d'adminis trateurs, savants, dévoués et actifs, qui donnait au ministre les intendants des généralités, les imten dants de la marine, en un met tous les hauts fonc tionnaires dont il avait besoin. Heureux temps em core que celui - là, où les hommes ne faisaient pas défaut, et où l'on savait les former et les choisir.
