Lathrop Harper noted "The book was of course not allowed to be printed in France and the writer was living in London at this time" Harper Catalog 224 - 154. <br /> As a hereditary organization limited to officers of the American Revolution and their eldest male descendants the Order reflects "the true seat of nobility" inconsistent with a new republican society. <br /> Alarmed the author says the Society will quoting from the version in English language "strip the middle and lower ranks of life of all influence and of all importance; consign them to the most palpable contempt and reduce them to the completest nullity." This "military nobility" will inevitably become "a civil nobility and an aristocracy the more dangerous because being hereditary it will perpetually increase in the course of time and will gather strength from the very prejudices it will engender; because originating neither in the constitution nor the law the law has provided no means to controul it and it will incessantly overbear the constitution." <br /> Howes M653aa.
