It is astonishing that so few English kings have felt the expediency of pursuing a similar course; but barbarous times, and times of civil war and revolution, were not favourable to the advancement of the more illustrious objects which wisdom and policy alike recommend. Now, however, that peace offers the occasion, and the progress of knowledge and civilisation perpetually enforces the truth, it would be utter senselessness not to anticipate a better order of things. Let us concede, that the warrior is worthy of his honours, the statesman of his emoluments, the wealthy of his influence, the yielder of pleasure to his reward: but surely it is also time that the philosopher, the scholar, the man of useful science, should be distinguished from the mass by royal favour, instead of being left to the mere breath of popular opinion. It would reflect as bright a lustre on, as it would derive a lustre from, the throne; and earnestly do we hope to see the reign of William IV. made resplendent by such a course. |
