Decline of new philosophy and public order concerns
The author laments the decline of the new philosophy in the country, noting its initial appeal among intemperate crowds and the ensuing mischiefs from a levelling system seen in a neighboring kingdom. English observers now reject interference in French politics and oppose liberty via mob rule, while a comic aside mocks Mr Gamoy’s stage coach bill and crowd control on a turnpike.
