If the importance of events be estimated by the magnitude of their effects, and the extent of their influence on the happiness of mankind, we shall be compelled to confess that this portion of the history of the world is infinitely more interesting than any that has preceded it. The period of the last five and-twenty-years, commencing with the dawn of the Revolution in France, has given birth to events which fix the attention by their novelty, gratify curiosity by their variety, and overpower the imagination by their magnitude - events which powerfully interest the heart, by the astonishing influence they have exerted, not merely -ou the fate of monarchs and of empires, but over the domestic circle of the most retired individual? And it is no exaggeration to assert, that there Is scarcely a single inhabitant of Europe that has not been affected by these tremendous occurrences, either In his own person, in his family, or in his near connections.
