Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Progress of the Revolutions of 1640 and 1830 Tacitus, in his first book, has an awful sentiment, - "Nec enim unquam atrocioribus populi Romani cladibus, magisve justis indiciis approbatum est, non esse curæ deis securitatem nostram, esse ultionem." Overwhelming, if true! But had the Roman nation deeply considered the crimes and errors of their forefathers, regulating thereby the whole course of government, they would have obtained the security, and escaped the vengeance. Even so is it with us. The former scourging of our native land, still terrible, though long passed, - the unprecedented horrors which lacerated France, and astonished mankind, - are volumes superabundant in wisdom. "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets; ... saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? ... But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind ... Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer." In this passage, the wisest of mortal beings most plainly sets forth two kinds of experience, - the experience of our progenitors, and the experience of ourselves.
