To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The centre of the confederation was fixed at Delos; the treasure heldin common was there deposited under the guardianship of the god, and thedelegates from the confederate states met there every year at the solemnfestivals, Athens to audit the accounts of her administration, andthe allies to discuss the interests of the league and to decide on themeasures to be taken against the common enemy. Oriental empires maintain their existence only on condition of beingalways on the alert and always vict...orious. They can neither restrictthemselves within definite limits nor remain upon the defensive, forfrom the day when they desist from extending their area their ruinbecomes inevitable; they must maintain their career of conquest, or theymust cease to exist. This very activity which saves them from downfalldepends, like the control of affairs, entirely on the ruling sovereign;when he chances to be too indolent or too incapable of government, heretards progress by his inertness or misdirects it through his want ofskill, and the fate of the people is made thus to depend entirely on thenatural disposition of the prince, since none of his subjects possessessufficient authority to correct the mistakes of his master.
