The institution of numer ous agricultural and commercial schools, normal ateliers, popular libraries, and other means used for raising the working-classes, were followed by most beneficial results. The revolutionary tempest of 1848, however, menaced. The tranquillity of the country, but the king, at the outbreak of _the catastrophe in France, promptly declared himself ready to retain or to surrender the crown of B. According to the decision of the people. This frank and ready declaration had a successful result in strengthening the party of order, while it disarmed even those most disaffected to the crown.
