Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History War of Frederick I Against the Against of Lombardy I. Some, who think it possible from the study of the distant past to forecast the vicissitudes of the future, are of opinion that a nation, when it has become debased and enslaved, can never return to a condition of civilisation and freedom, until it has first recovered simple and virtuous habits; and that the likeliest means of such a recovery, more effectual than any severity of its laws or change in its institutions, is the invasion of some barbarous people; who, bringing with them wild hardihood and ignorance of vice, sweep away in part by the very rush of victory the cowardice of the vanquished, and afterwards, by living amongst them, communicate valour and simplicity to those who remain; so that when the two nations are blended together, there arises from them a new generation, which, if it should come to be established under a good and free government, will have virtue in itself to maintain it. In proof of this, they cite the example of Rome, and the origin of the republics which flourished in the Middle Ages in Lombardy; for this opinion of theirs is entirely founded upon the vicissitudes of ancient nations. In fact, amongst the nations of modern times, although there are not wanting those whose corruptions require some remedy, there is not one which continues in a state so rude and wild that it could easily be moved in a mass from its place, and brought to renew, by the hardy simplicity of its customs, the social condition of another.
