To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
§Ibid. || .See what Plutarch says in the Life of Theseus. See likewise Thucvd- ides, book 1. Book XI. — Chap. 12. 189 In the government of the kings of the heroic times, the three powers were ill distributed. Hence those monarchies could not long subsist. For as soon as the people got the legislative power into their hands, they might, as they every where did, upon the very least caprice, subvert the regal authority. Among a free people possessed of the legislative power, and enclosed within wa...lls, where every thing tending to- wards oppression appears still more odious, it is the master- piece of legislation to know where to place properly the judiciary power. But it could not be in worse hands than in those of the person, to whom the executive power had been already committed. From that very instant the mon- arch became terrible. But at the same time as he had no share in the legislature, he could make no defence against it ; thus his power was in one sense too great, in another too little.
