f j. E. The Imperial Roman. The influence of Kepublican Rome, when her history and literature were first made familiar to Europe by the revi- val of classical studies, was certainly not monarchical. 162 RISE AND PROGRESS regulate and temper, by solemn compact and laws, the power of its royal chief, but never attempting, in early times, to dispense "with the existence of kingiy chiefdom. Even when the oppressiveness and proved perfidy of individual monarchs induced the nation to take away i^ract...ical power from them, and to choose an executive board, who should rule in their name, such provisions, however necessary, were always con- sidered and designed to be of a temporary nature. Nor even when kings were solemnly deposed, as in the cases of the second Edward and the second Eichard, was kingship ever assailed. A new sovereign was instantly placed in the room of the deposed one, in order that the nation might not be deprived for a moment of the monarchical head, that was reckoned politically indispensable.
