To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Uniformity, or a near approach to it, was produced, not so much by theabolition of differences as by superadding one and the same governmentalmachinery in all parts of the Empire. It is an essential feature ofthe satrapial system that it does not aim at destroying differences, orassimilating to one type the various races and countries over whichit is extended. On the contrary, it allows, and indeed encourages, theseveral nations to retain their languages, habits, manners, religion, laws, and mo...des of local government. Only it takes care to place aboveall these things a paramount state authority, which is one and the sameeverywhere, whereon the unity of the kingdom is dependent. The authorityinstituted by Darius was that of his satraps. He divided the wholeempire into a number of separate governments--a number which must havevaried at different times, but which seems never to have fallen shortof twenty. Over each government he placed a satrap, or supreme civilgovernor, charged with the collection and transmission of the revenue, the administration of justice, the maintenance of order, and the generalsupervision of the territory.
