Here was boundless, irresponsible, tmmitigated despotism, without a single provision in favom- of the life, the substance, or the liberty of any subject, high or low. In China the Emperor is restrained by the laws, which he can neither violate, nor change. So it is in Thibet ; so in all Mahommedan countries, where the Koran is the unchanged and unchangeable law, alike for rulers and people. So it was in ancient Persia, in Egypt, in Assyria, in Greece, in Eome. So it has been in the great middle... age Empires — in Tartary, Mexico, Peru. It was reserved for the most limited, and the most insigni- ficant (so far as territory and revenues are concerned) king in Em-ope, to establish a despotism such as the world had never seen. " — Dunham's Denmark^ Siveden, and Norway, v. Iii, p. 180-1. INTERNAL CONSTITUTION. 149 Sweden and of Norway were united with that of Denmark, under terms which required that they should be always placed upon the same head, Schleswig and Holstein were not so united.
