Modern Venice owes its origin to the invasion of Attila in 457, whicli drove several families of Aquileia, Padua and the adjacent country, into a clus- ter of numerous islands, which lie in the ex- tremity of the Hadriatic Gulph, and are se- parated by shallow waters from the continent. Insensibly, something of a federal union was established among them ; and, in the twelve principal islands, twelve judges were annually elected. These, in 697, were superseded by a chief, called a Duke or Doge, ...who was chosen for life, and enjoyed sovereign power : he was elected by a general assembly of the people. At first, all the public concerns of the repub- lic were subject to the controul of that assem- bly. In 1172, a great council was established, which insensibly drew to it the whole admi- nistration of affairs. It was chosen out of the body of the people, by twelve persons, elected for that purpose at a general meeting. Q ( 18 ) In 1298, the council was made hereditary. A conspiracy in 1 3 1 0, to restore the ancient form of government, gave rise to an appointment of twelve commissioners to discover its secret ac- complices.
