a determined revolt set in. Pris

reformation, "reestablishment, began
to be considered as possible for
nearly all.
The first step was to sow hope, de
pendent on good conduct and ap
parent reformation. The jiarole sys

ural outcome. The tide is sweeping
the nation. To turn it back is a
hopeless effort of those wtfo claim
