unreasonable mandate was not entirely
complied with he caused some hundreds OF
| the refractory scholars to be executed
| His ideas of reforming the constitution and
laws of the country were carried to such
lengths that he was satisfied with nothing

| policy failed of complete success. His MEM
DRY has ever since been execrated by pos

NO nation can become really great by
war. True greatness does not lie in the
extent OF territory or in the strength
OF battalions, but in the character of the
