The present translation of Machiavelli's 'Prince' was first published in 'The World's Classics' in 1903, and reprinted in 1909 and 1921.
Printed in England by the Garden City Press, Letchworth.
PREFACE
Of all Machiavelli's works The Prince is undoubtedly the greatest; and a new English edition of it is likely to be welcome to all those who have not the advantage of reading it in the classical Italian original.
For a true appreciation of Machiavelli, impossible in a brief Preface, I must refer the English reader to Macaulay's Essay on the Italian historian and statesman. In it he will see how our Author's ideas and work were wrongfully and wilfully misinterpreted by the very men who, while profiting by his wisdom, have with great ingratitude criticised the statesman and defamed his name, as that of the inventor of the worst political system ever imagined. Yet, as his whole life was an indefatigable and unremitting endeavour to secure for his native Florence a good and popular government, and as he lost his great office of Secretary to the Florentine Republic on account of his avowed liberal opinions, it is not only unjust but ridiculous to accuse him of helping tyrants to enslave the people. What he did was to show in the most deliberate and in the plainest way the arts by which free peoples were made slaves; and, had his words of advice been always heeded, no tyrant in Italy or elsewhere could have been successful in his policy. That he was not listened to, and his advice scorned and spurned, was not Machiavelli's fault. ​Those who still share the opinion of his interested detractors should read his private correspondence with the leaders of liberal ideas in Italy many of his letters being still left unpublished in the MS. Collection of Giuliano Ricci in the National Library, in the Riccardiana Library (No. 2467), in the Government Archives (Strozzi, Nos. 133 and 1028) of Florence, in the Barberini Library, and in the Collezione Gonnelli of the Palatine Library in Rome.

# The Prince (Ricci)/Chapter 1

THE PRINCE
CHAPTER I
THE VARIOUS KINDS OP GOVERNMENT AND THE WAYS BY WHICH THEY ARE ESTABLISHED
All states and dominions which hold or have held sway over mankind are either republics or monarchies. Monarchies are either hereditary ones, in which the rulers have been for many years of the same family, or else they are those of recent foundation. The newly founded ones are either entirely new, as was Milan to Francesco Sforza, or else they are, as it were, new members grafted on to the hereditary possessions of the prince that annexes them, as is the kingdom of Naples to the King of Spain. The dominions thus acquired have either been previously accustomed to the rule of another prince, or else have been free states, and they are annexed either by force of arms of the prince, or of others, or else fall to him by good fortune or merit.
# The Prince (Ricci)/Chapter 15

CHAPTER XV
OF THE THINGS FOB WHICH MEN, AND ESPECIALLY PRINCES, ARE PRAISED OR BLAMED
It remains now to be seen what are the methods and rules for a prince as regards his subjects and friends. And as I know that many have written of this, I fear that my writing about it may be deemed presumptuous, differing as I do, especially in this matter, from the opinions of others. But my intention being to write something of use to those who understand it, it appears to me more proper to go to the real truth of the matter than to its imagination; and many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather learn to bring about his own ruin than his preservation. A man who wishes to make a profession of goodness in everything must necessarily come to grief among so many who are not good. Therefore it is necessary for a prince, who wishes to maintain himself, to learn how not to be good, and to use it and not use it according to the necessity of the case. Leaving on one side then those things which concern only an imaginary prince, and speaking of those that are real, I state that all men, when spoken of, and especially ​princes, who are placed at a greater height, are noted for some of those qualities which bring them either praise or blame. Thus one is considered liberal, another miserly; one a free giver, another rapacious; one cruel, another merciful; one a breaker of his word, another faithful; one effeminate and pusillanimous, another fierce and high-spirited; one humane, another proud; one lascivious, another chaste; one frank, another astute; one hard, another easy; one serious, another frivolous; one religious, another incredulous, and so on. I know that every one will admit that it would be highly praiseworthy in a prince to possess all the above-named qualities that are reputed good, but as they cannot all be possessed or observed, human conditions not permitting of it, it is necessary that he should be prudent enough to avoid the disgrace of those vices which would lose him the state, and guard himself against those which will not lose it him, if possible, but if not able to, he can indulge them with less scruple. And yet he must not mind incurring the disgrace of those vices, without which it would be difficult to save the state, for if one considers well, it will be found that some things which seem virtues would, if followed, lead to one's ruin, and some others which appear vices result, if followed, in one's greater security and wellbeing.

The Old, Old Story.
PART I.
The Story Wanted.
Tell me the old, old Story,
Of unseen things above;—
Of Jesus and His Glory,
Of Jesus and His Love.
Tell me the Story simply,
As to a little child;
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.
Tell me the Story slowly,
That I may take it in— That wonderful Redemption,
God's Remedy for sin!   Tell me the Story often,
For I forget so soon!
The "early dew" of morning
Has passed away at noon!
Tell me the Story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember, I'm the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the Story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.
Tell me the same old Story
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that World's Glory
Shall dawn upon my soul,
Tell me the old, old Story,
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole."

# The Ogo-Pogo: The Funny Fox-Trot

One fine day in Hindustan, I met a funny little man. With googly eyes and lantern jaws, A new silk hat and some old plus fours. When I said to that quaint old chap:- "Why do you carry that big steel trap, That butterfly net and that rusty gun?" He replied "Listen here my son:-
I'm looking for the Ogo-pogo, The funny little Ogo-pogo. His mother was a polliwog, his father was a whale, I'm going to put a little bit of salt on his tail. I want to find the Ogo-pogo While he's playing on his old banjo. The Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London wants to put him in the Lord Mayor's show".
On his Banjo night and day The Ogo-pogo loves to play, He charms the snakes and chimpanzees, The big baboons and the bumble bees. Lions and tigers begin to roar:- "Play us that melody just once more". Did I hear the sound of an old banjo? Pardon me I shall have to go!
I'm looking for the Ogo-pogo, The funny little Ogo-pogo. His mother was a polliwog, his father was a whale, I'm going to put a little bit of salt on his tail. I want to find the Ogo-pogo While he's playing on his old banjo. The Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London wants to put him in the Lord Mayor's show".

United States Supreme Court
23 U.S. 502
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of South Carolina.
This was the case of an armed vessel called the Palmyra, taken under Spanish colours by the United States' schooner Grampus, (commanded by Lieutenant Gregory, and cruising, with instructions from the President, against pirates,) and brought into the port of Charleston, S.C.. for adjudication. A libel was filed by the captors, and a claim interposed by Mr. Depau, as agent of the alleged owners of the Palmyra, Spanish merchants domiciled at Porto Rico, and of the captain, offices, and crew. In the District Court the libel was dismissed, without costs and damages against the captors. The decree of restitution was affirmed in the Circuit Court, with costs and damages, and the cause was brought by appeal to this Court.
Feb. 19th.
It was suggested by the Attorney General, (with whom was Mr. Hayne,) for the appellants, that after the decree of restitution, and for damages, in the Circuit Court, there had been a reference to commissioners to ascertain the amount of damages, and before the report of the commissioners had been acted upon by that Court, the appeal was taken. The question was, whether the appeal was not taken too early, the Judiciary Act of March 3, 1803, c. 353. [xciii.] having confined the right of appeal to 'final decrees.'
Mr. Tazewell, contra, stated, that in the District Court there was a decree of restitution and a denial of damages. Both parties appealed from that decree, the libellants being dissatisfied with the decree of restitution, and the claimants with the denial of damages. These were, then, cross-appeals, and consequently there might be an appeal from the decision of the Circuit Court decreeing restitution, and affirming, in this respect, the decree of the District Court, although the decree of the Circuit Court, reversing that of the District Court as to damages, and awarding the latter to the claimants, was as yet undetermined. Feb. 20th.
Mr. Chief Justice MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.

# The Palmyra Depau/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
The Court has had the question submitted in this cause under consideration, and is of opinion, that the appeal is not well taken. The decree of the Circuit Court was not final in the sense of the act of Congress. The damages remain undisposed of, and an appeal may still lie upon that part of the decree awarding damages. The whole cause is not, therefore, finally determined in the Circuit Court; and we are of opinion that the cause cannot be divided, so as to bring up successively distinct parts of it.
The case in 3 Cranch, 179. is essentially different. In that case, which was an appeal in an equity cause, there was a decree of foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property. The sale could only be ordered after an account taken, or the sum due on the mortgage ascertained in some other way; and the usual decree is, that unless the defendant shall pay that sum in a given time, the estate shall be sold. The decree of sale therefore is, in such a case, final upon the rights of the parties in controversy, and leaves ministerial duties only to be performed.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Zanesville, O.

See also Zanesville, Ohio on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Zanes'ville, O., county-seat of Muskingum County, on both sides of Muskingum River, at the mouth of Licking River, 55 miles east of Columbus, is in a beautiful and fertile valley, and is crowded with manufactures and other business enterprises. Having fine railroad and river facilities, it is a prosperous and busy city. It has rolling-mills, blast-furnaces, brass and iron foundries, glass and soap factories, flour, woolen and paper mills, railroad and other machine shops, tile-works and extensive potteries making fine ware. It also has tanneries, breweries, bent-wood works and brick-yards, and manufactures agricultural implements. The Y bridge spanning the Muskingum and Licking Rivers is the only structure of its kind in the United States. Among the prominent buildings are the Masonic Temple, the People's Savings Bank, Soldiers' and Sailors' Monumental Building, the two opera-houses and Zanesville High School. The city has an admirable system of public and parochial schools, a business college, an academy (R. C.), many churches and McIntire Home for Children. Zanesville was settled in 1799, and was the state capital from 1810 to 1812. Population 28,026.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Zanzibar

See also Zanzibar on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Zanzibar (zän′ zĭ-bär′) or Zanguebar, an Arab sultanate under British control, comprises the islands of Lamu, Mafia, Pemba and Zanzibar on the eastern coast of Africa opposite the German sphere. The sultan is titular sovereign of the coast of British East Africa for ten miles inland, but it is administered by the British. The island of Zanzibar, about 50 miles in length and from 15 to 30 in breadth, is the most important of the sultan’s dominions. It contains an area of 640 square miles, and the soil in most parts is exceedingly fertile. The principal products are cocoanuts, cloves, rice, sugar-cane and fruits. Pemba produces four fifths of all the cloves in the world. The population of the island is estimated at 114,000 and that of Pemba at 83,130, among them many foreigners, for the most part engaged in trade. The town of Zanzibar has 100,000 inhabitants. The soil along the coast is fertile in rice, millet, peas, beans, melons, pumpkins, sugar-cane, cocoanuts and bananas and the forests supply many valuable species of timber. Cattle, sheep and fowls are plentiful, and wild animals abound. The heat on the coast is excessive, and the climate is unfavorable to Europeans and Americans. The protectorate has had a regular government since October, 1901, with a responsible ministry. Its revenues are derived chiefly from customs-duties and taxes on produce. The chief imports are cottons, rice, groceries and petroleum; the chief exports, cloves, cottons, copra, ivory and grain. Zanzibar is in direct communication with Great Britain by cable. Mohammedanism is the prevailing religion, and European immigration is restricted, but Zanzibar is a center for trade, missions and exploration. The Arabs of Muscat acquired the East African coast between 1698 and 1807, partly by conquest from the Portuguese, partly from the Africans, but Zanguebar became independent in 1856. Between 1886 and 1890 the Germans and British divided the continental dominions between them, Germany paying the sultan $1,000,000 for his rights.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Zebu

See also Zebu on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Ze'bu, the name sometimes used for a humped ox of India (Bos Indicus). This name, however, is not used in India, being an invention of foreign people. The zebu is closely related to the domesticated ox. It no longer is found in the wild state. The animal possesses a well-marked hump of fat on the shoulders, which is considered a delicacy for the table. It has long ears pointing downward and very short blunt horns. The cows are milked. These animals are used in plowing, for drawing carriages and for riding. Similar animals are found in China and in eastern Africa. The sacred bulls of the Hindus belong to this species.

See also John Augustine Zahm on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Zahm, John Augustus, born at Lexington, O., June 14, 1851; graduated at Notre Dame University and joined the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1871; became a priest in 1874; and was Provincial of his order in the United States from 1897 to 1906. He studied and experimented with Helmholtz in Germany, and is a leading authority on acoustics; his first book, Sound and Music (1893) popularized that subject and greatly aided musical science. He is known as an advanced evolutionist, but his works aim only to show the harmony between demonstrated science and the Christian religion. They are Evolution and Dogma; Catholic Science and Catholic Scientists; Scientific Theory and Catholic Doctrine; Science and the Church. His brother, a layman, Albert P. Zahm, Ph.D., professor of physics at the Catholic University of Washington, D. C., is a noted authority on aërodynamics, and has been of great service to aëronautical investigators.
