Excerpt from Discours de Réception de M. Berryer, Et, Réponse de M. De Salvandy
Pour qui peut étudier le mouvement et le vaste Spectacle des choses humaines, il n'y a guère de différenees d'un soecle à un autre que dans l'aspect du lieu de la scène, dans la physionomie extérieure et le costume des acteurs, et dans le choix du parti auquel la Provi dence permet d'obtenir la victoire. Les passions et les vertus des hommes, leurs entraînements et les ressorts secrets qui les font agir sont toujours les mêmes. La contemplation attentive du passé révèle à l'écrivain la vérité du temps présent. A qui ne veut point fermer les yeux devant ces vives lumières, les succès ou les revers, les 'misères ou la grandeur, les fautes, les violences, les vaines illusions, la honte ou la gloire de ceux qui nous ont précédés, enseignent, avec une autorité immense, ce que sontnos propres dangers, nos véritables ressources, nos devoirs envers la patrie.
