The book was eagerly sought and read, and the Diet, inspired by the noble sentiments there developed, appointed the sum of 1,800,000 R:dr to be applied in the manner proposed; besides which the different committees were led to discuss the subject in such a way, as must lead at the next meeting of the Diet, to the most beneficial results.
