Σελίδα 358 - Emperor's mind, but they were rather a young man's fancies than a grown man's decided will. The Emperor liked forms of liberty, as he liked the theatre : it gave him pleasure and flattered his vanity to see the appearances of free government in his Empire : but all he wanted in this respect was forms and appearances : he did not expect them to become realities.
