All this is pre-eminently true of the conquests of Alexander. It is written of him that "he was impetuous and fierce in his warlike expe- ditions as a panther after his prey, and came on his enemies with that speed as if he flew with a double pair of wings." He began his wars at the age of twenty years, and at thirty-two the world had been subdued to his authority. Nations were his play- things, thrones were his toys. And in a most em- phatic and special sense dominion was given to him. With co...mparatively insignificant means he reached the most momentous results. Read his history and you cannot but wonder that such mighty empire should have been acquired as he acquired it. But he did not live to enjoy it or to put it into fixed and settled shape. Nor did he have a regular successor to organize it.
