Excerpt from Hold Fast Your Colonies
The French of an earlier generation had been the terror of Europe: under Louis XIV they had dreamed of universal monarchy; they had ravaged the Palati nate; but for a voluntary and timely inundation they would have overrun Holland; they had defied Europe, and had fallen only before a continent in arms.
In the reaction that followed those great passions they had fallen into contempt: under the debauched Regent, under the effeminate and voluptuous Louis XV they had abdicated their throne among nations.
