Remembrance of' the mental stimulus following the Napoleonic wars gave hope that, the result of this would &e a wider outlook, a larger sense of humanity, and less of the silly barriers by which • people allowed themselves to be separated from each other. There would be a kinder mental attitude one to tlio other.
