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? Not to instruct them, not to guide them to virtue, not to make himself beloved by them, to terrify them into despair, to lay them under the dreadful necessity either not to breathe with freedom, or to shake off the yoke of his tyrannical sway; is this, I say, the way to reign easy? 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...

  • Pages : 502 pages

Download or read book The Odyssey written by Homer and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2020-02-08T01:55:23Z with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Odyssey is one of the oldest works of Western literature, dating back to classical antiquity. Homer’s epic poem belongs in a collection called the Epic Cycle, which includes the Iliad. It was originally written in ancient Greek, utilizing a dactylic hexameter rhyme scheme. Although this rhyme scheme sounds beautiful in its native language, in modern English it can sound awkward and, as Eric McMillan humorously describes it, resembles “pumpkins rolling on a barn floor.” William Cullen Bryant avoided this problem by composing his translation in blank verse, a rhyme scheme that sounds natural in English. This epic poem follows Ulysses, one of the Greek leaders that brought an end to the ten-year-long Trojan war. Longing for home, he travels across the Mediterranean Sea to return to his kingdom in Ithaca; unfortunately, our hero manages to anger Neptune, the god of the sea, making his trip home agonizingly slow and extremely dangerous. While Ulysses is trying to return home, his family in Ithaca is also in danger. Suitors have traveled to the home of Ulysses to marry his wife, Penelope, believing that her husband did not survive the war. These men are willing to kill anyone who stands in their way. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
