Within 50 years, he predicted in 1831, "the government of England will become exactly what Lafayette wished to make France-a nominal monarchy, but virtually a re-publick." He added: "The prestige of their detestable aristocracy will for a long time linger in the slavish minds of their people." When in France, he wrote that England "is a country which knows well how to handle a king." Straight Bourbon was too much for his republican stomach, and there...
