People who condemned the horror of the
French revolution, were inclined also to the
to condemn the uncontrollable liberties
the Poles took in behalf of regard of the
Kings; and Poland's fate has not excited
so much simpathy as it would have
excited if it had it happened at not been
connected with the revolution of the French
or at least if it that had is not happened at
be a more distant period of time than
within the five subsequent years after that revolution
when not alone the thrones but the
people were universally affraid of its
dreadful results and obviated were
inclined to obviate every where any thing like its
repetition. The common and principal
topics of objection to brought against the poles were
the unruly passions of their Nobles:
the oppression of the peasantry: and
the unhappy to liberum veto nee infamous
niepozwalam (liberum vefo) which unfitted
them in the opinion of all the whole Europe for
any improvement. But little was known
that the liberum veto Poles had abolished the
liberum veto on the general Diet of the year;
but Catharine II reestablished it again to secure
to herself the influence in the affairs of Poland: Her
xx x The Poles having lost the peo liberty of free deliberation on the Diets
The Poles consequently, could make no improvement in their condition
though they eagerly wished it. In their deliberation they had
constantly to struggle against the and event
of their neighbours who were hostile any form like the popular
form of government.
