Seite 71 - Romans, introduced a slow and secret poison into the vitals of the empire. The minds of men were gradually reduced to the same level, the fire of genius was extinguished, and even the military spirit evaporated. The natives of Europe were brave and robust; Spain, Gaul, Britain, and Illyrium supplied the legions with excellent soldiers, and constituted the real strength of the monarchy.
Seite 102 - His intentions were just, but more adapted to the conduct of private life, than to the government of kingdoms. Awkward in his person, and ungainly in his manners, he was ill qualified to command respect : partial and undiscerning in his affections, he was little fitted to acquire general love.
