To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
93. 8 III. Xv. 229.
74 MILITARY MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.
Due de Guise, is said to have replied, ' My life and my property are yours, Sire ; but I should be un- worthy of the French name were I false to the laws of honour. ' Had he accepted the commission, would the deed have been praiseworthy or infamous ? Can a commission affect the moral quality of actions ? The hangman has a commission, but neither honour nor distinction. Why, then, should a successful pri- vateer have been often decorated with ...the title of nobility or presented with a sword by his king ? l Historically, the distinction had even less founda- tion. In olden times individuals carried on their own robberies or reprisals at their own risk ; but their actions did not become the least less piratical when, about the thirteenth century, reprisals were taken under State control, and became only lawful under letters of marque duly issued by a sovereign or his admirals. In their acts, conduct, and whole procedure, the commissioned privateers of later times differed in no discernible respects from the pirates of the middle ages, save in the fact of being utilised by the State for its supposed benefit : and this difference, only dating as it did from the time when the prohibition to fit out cruisers in time of war without public authority first became common, was evidently one of date rather than of nature.
