He praised the conservatives on the one hand and approved of the liberals on the other, giving the preference to the latter as he counted himself of their walking stick toys He spoke highly of the people, but drew attention to some of their weaknesses; expressed his full confidence in the government, but asked himself whether all its officials were faithfully fulfilling its benevolent designs. He acknowledged the importance walking stick toys literature, but declared that without the utmost caution it was dangerous.
