Juste Milieu

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 6: Humber to Malta

Juste Milieu, a French term, signifying the just mean, or, according to the common expression, the golden mean. After the revolution of 1830 this term acquired a political signification, and came into very frequent use, because of the declaration of the organs of Louis-Philippe, that the juste milieu was the only principle of government which could secure the welfare of France.
