To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seeing that his own interests are securely bound up with those of his country ; that they are inseparable from them and one with them, he will naturally give the preference to the best men, because they are his most serviceable instruments, and he will bestow his favour upon them as soon, that is, as he can find them; which is not so difficult, if only an honest search be made. Just in the same way even ministers of State have too much advantage over rising politicians to need to regard them wi...th jealousy ; and accordingly for analogous reasons they are gi#J to single out distinguished men and set them to work, 58 GOVERNMENT. in order to make use of their powers for themselves. It is in this way that intelligence has always under a monarchical government a much better chance against its irreconcilable and ever-present foe, stupidity ; and the advantage which it gains is very great. In general, the monarchical form of government is that which is natural to man ; just as it is natural to bees and ants, to a flight of cranes, a herd of wander- ing elephants, a pack of wolves seeking prey in com- mon, and many other animals, all of which place one of their number at the head of the business in hand.
