To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole, therefore, of what seems proper and necessary to be done, is to support them all in a kind of equilibrium ; and whatever prince thinks, and in conse- quence acts, otherwise, may indeed cause torrents of blood to; flow through all Europe, but he will never be, able to chknge her form.
When I observed that the extent of France is not now so cohsiderable as it was in the time of Charlemagne, my intention, most certainly, was not that this diminution should be considered as a inisfortune.... In an age when we feel the! sad effects of having had anibitious princes from time to time for our kings, were all to concur in flattering this fatal ambition, it would be the cause of i^till greater evils ; and it may be generally observed that the larger the extent of' kingdoms, the more they are subject to great revolutions arid misfortunes. -The basis of the. tranquillity of our own, in particular, depends upon preserving it within its present -limits.^ A climate, laws^ manners, and language, different from our own; seas, and chains of mountains almost inac- cessible, are all so many barriers which we may consider as fixed even by nature.
