BOOK VI. 



POLITICS. 



The conditions of prosperity with every people are involved in the 

 extent to which they bring their purest and wisest minds into positions 

 of honor and control. No nation, however strong ; no nation, how- 

 ever vigorous, could long preserve its relative prestige and prosperity 

 in the world, if it should disregard these conditions. — Dorman B.
