Thus, while maintaining his position as

has effrItd in bis person the anomaly Of IN

which btlonC to the position he asp3red to.
This cohduct Of the Prince, which was aimed
at securing the favor Of the people. and Ut
securing position ofpopuls:ity which would
cnable him to command the Situation in case
OF the dtath Of the Emperor, has not been
successful For some reason or other, but
