To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such is the method by which the slavery of ancient times constituted, in the evolution of humanity, a means of general education, and at the same time a condition of special development. Let us now examine the second character of ancient social economy; that is, the confusion manifested in every way between the spiritual and the temporal power, habitually concentrated in the same person, while their regidar separation constitutes one of the principal political attributes of modem civilization. ...Speculative authority, at that time purely sacerdotal, and executive power essentially military, were always united ; and this imavoidable combination had a neces- sary relation to the general destination recognized above, as proper to this system for the entire evolution of humanity. It is clear, indeed, that military activity could not have developed itself so as to fulfil its principal mission, if spiritual authority and temporal power had not been habitually concentrated in one directing class.
