1830. Aug 5.
J.B. to France.
2. Reduce from 40 to 21. the age of Eligibility.
The students of the Ecole Polytechnique — what have
they done to be excluded from one to 19 29 years from
the possibility of taking a part in the business of legislation.
Who does not know that the longer a man
lives, the more selfish he grows: the more his thoughts
are confined within himself, and his now narrow
circle. Then come Wife and children; and by every
child that comes, not only a fresh incentive, but
a fresh plea is formed for joining wish the amateurs
of Charles in the plan of regular plunderers.
I say one and twenty years. Why? because
the undangerousness of this arrangement stands
demonstrated by experience. So likewise the sufficiency
for the appropriate intellectual aptitude. Think of
our Pitt! Think of our Trap! At an age no further
advanced, leaders of parties, bash of them. Leaders,
and such Leaders! Who is there that, since that
time, has come near to them, or either of them?
One thing, this one thing, I can recommend to the
country of which I am proud to borrow from
the country of which I am ashamed. What other
thing? Alas! No such thing can I think of.
