To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
231.
And still the Romans were no more than a heathen people. What a lesson, and what a sad rebuke for some Christian nations !
322 CAUSES OF ROMAN TOWER, ETC. 323 virtues of no rare occurrence among them; witness the conduct of Cincinnatus, Regulus, Fabricius, Curius, the Fabii, the Scipios, and many others. Yet, as these virtues, however praise- worthy, had no other foundation than human and natural motives, and were even often found by the side of harshness, vanity, ambi- tion, or some other... vice, they could not deserve a supernatural reward from the hands of the Sovereign Judge. But they seem- ed to entitle the people who practised them for so long a period, to a temporal recompense above other nations; and this was, in effect, the reward which heaven granted to the Romans, that is, the empire of the world.
The course of events was so disposed by Divine Providence in their behalf, that they were never attacked by too many enemies at once, but sometimes by one, and sometimes by another, in a kind of regular succession, and just when they themselves were possessed of adequate means either to defeat each attack, or to retrieve their losses, even with increased ad- vantage.
