Translate into English : — Au moms il est impossible de nous demander d'avoir, devant le cercueil de M. de Bismarck, les sentiments qu'un peuple peut avoir devant celui dun ennemi dun autre caractere. L'homme gui vient de disparaitre, et gui semble avoir etc un homme de resultats pratiques plus qu'un homme de convictions, a eu au moms toute sa vie une passion dune effroyable sincerity : e'est sa haine de la France. On peut dire qu'il l'avait puisee dans le sein de sa mere et qu'il la portait dans le sang. C'est peu avant sa naissance que ses parents avaient dv fuir leur habitation de Schonhausen, occupe par les troupes victorieuses dv premier Empire, et que nos soldats avaient irrespectueusement balafre a coups de sabre et de baionnette le tableau genealogique dcs Bismarck, etale sur un dcs murs dv chateau. Tout lvi faisait execrer notre nation :sa haine dcs aspirations populaires, son bigotisme politique, ses souvenirs de 1848, oii il avait combattu en furieux le mouvement democratique et national allemand sorti de notre Eevolution. II ne semble pas qu'il ait cess 6 une minute de nous detester: pas meme quand, ayant devant lvi d'autres adversaires, il dut essayer de se servir de la France. Comme ambassadeur a Paris, il a certainement amuse le criminel songe-ereux dcs Tuileries, avee ses idees de pillage de l'Europe en commun. 2. Translate into French :—■ Gentlemen of the jury: You have been chosen by the laws of your State to fulfil a most unpleasant and trying duty—to give judgment in the case of The People v. Stanley Edgcumb, charged with the murder of Mancel Tewkes. It is presumed that you are all impartial and fairthinking men, and as such you are chosen. You are actuated by all the common impulses of men; you feel, think, and act as other men do, and you cannot for a moment forget that it is upon the life of. a human being, one who thinks, feels, and acts as one of yourselves, that you are about to pass judgment. Stanley Edgcumb is one of Nature's noblest productions. He is the soul of honour and truthfulness ; of such nobility of nature that he could not find it in his heart to commit a crime. He does not stand before you as a suppliant for mercy, but he stands with innocence stamped upon his brow, and demands that innocence shall not be made a cat's-paw for crime. 3.
