IL we look back upon history, shal. iinfi that the

iy influenced by two principles and that its internal
history IS little else than of the STRUGGLES

influence Of persons preGominates, the government,
tends to Democracy; and If it wholly prevails Anar-
chy ens,les. On the other hand where the influence
OF property pfedonDates, Ars'ocracv arises: if il
increases, bonaEc may follow; and if it wholly
walls, Despotism ensucs.
