Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Elementary Public Instruction in Europe, Made to the Thirty-Sixth General Assembly of the State of Ohio, December 19, 1837
In 1810, the peasantry, who before had no ownership in the soil which they cultivated, and consequently no independence of charac ter, by a royal decree, became freeholders on the following terms, namely: those who held their lands on perpetual lease, by giving up one-third, and those who held them on limited or life leases, by giving up one-half, to the landlord, became the owners in fee simple of the rest. The military is now so modelled that every citizen between the ages of 18 and 21 is in actual service in the standing army, where he is instructed in all that pertains to military life, and then returns to his peaceful occupations.

Another European king of the Roman Catholic faith, Louis of Ba'
