To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To protect the independence of the officials, only posts to which no salary was attached were made elective. Those elected were obliged to serve. Their post was a burden and not a favour, so that they were not likely to act with partiality in order to win the suffrages of the public. The office of " ispan" (county lieutenant) had no regular salary attached to it, but the political influence which it gave, together with the fines which fell to the lieutenant's share, and in some counties, the la...nded pro- perty which went with the post, made it so desirable in the eyes of many that had it been elective, they might have been willing to sacrifice their independence to their 230 ROYAL REACTION IN HUNGARY. ambitions. The king accordingly retained in his own hands the right of nominating to that post, and the lieu- tenant appointed the deputy lieutenant. The officials' independence of the public was not in itself enough to guarantee that the interests of the state should be properly served. The county lieutenant was generally a very influential man whom it was difficult to control.
