" The republic of Athens was constrained to buy soldiers in order to fill her con- tingents, and when the enemy paid a higher bounty, the soldiers preferred the latter, and frequently engaged to fight against their fatherland. These causes destroyed the republic of Athens, and thus Rome was ruined. In this latter republic, the public domains originally were accepsible to the aristocracy, or nobility, to the Patricians exclusively. The law of Licinius Stolo (oGfi u. C. ) and its re-introduction ...by Tiberius Gracchus (131 b. C ), and Cajus Gracchus (123 b. C), produced only a temporary effect in favor of the people. But, gradually, the mass of the public lands accumulated in the hands of but 1, 000 persons, some of them owning such extensive estates, that, though cultivated by slaves, the annual revenue of each amounted to 3, 000, 000 dollars.
