About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1806 edition. Excerpt: ...to life itself.' Magistrates must be appointed to have an eye upon families and the manners of private persons. Have an eye upon them yourself, for you are not the king, that is the shepherd of your people, but to watch over your flock both night and day. Thereby you will prevent an infinite number of disorders and crimes. Those which you cannot prevent, punish immediately with severity. It is clemency to make examples at first which may stop the tide of iniquity. By a little blood shed in due time, a great deal is aftervvards saved, and it makes a prince feared without being often severe. But how detestable a maxim is it for him to think to find his safety only in the oppression of his people?

Is this the path which leads to glory? Remember that the countries in which the power of e sovereign is most absolute, are those where the sovereigns are least powerful. They seize, they ruin every thing, they alone possess the whole state; but then the whole state languishes. The fields are untilled and almost desert, the cities dwindle away daily, the springs of trade are dried up, and the king, who cannot be a king by himself, and who is great but by means of his people, wastes away gradually by the insensible wasting away of his subjects, from whom he derives his riches and power. His kingdom is drained of money and men, and this last loss is the greatest and the most irreparable. His absolute power makes as many slaves as he has subjects: they natter him, they seem...
