Seite 569 - I not reflected that the fate of the Byzantine monarchy is passively connected with the most splendid and important revolutions which have changed the state of the world. The space of the lost provinces was immediately replenished with new colonies and rising kingdoms : the active virtues of peace and war deserted from the vanquished to the victorious nations ; and it is in their origin and conquests, in their religion and government, that we must explore the causes and effects of the decline and...
Seite 298 - The vain titles of the victories of, Justinian are crumbled into dust; but the name of the legislator is inscribed on a fair and everlasting monument.

Seite 348 - Passion, interest, or caprice suggested daily motives for the dissolution of marriage; a word, a sign, a message, a letter, the mandate of a freedman declared the separation; the most tender of human connections was degraded to a transient society of profit or pleasure.
Seite 292 - Each year is marked by the repetition of earthquakes, of such duration that Constantinople has been shaken above forty days : of such extent that the shock has been communicated to the whole surface of the globe, or at least of the Roman Empire.
