justified by the singular independence OF TINS OF
that tyranncal house; it is bound to leave

Mr.. Edward Armstrong and Mr.. K Langtoh
Douglas, the general editors of the new series,
have adopted good plan and they have chosen,
in the author of the present volume, useful
contributor Miss Ady is perhaps a little long
winded but her narrative is fairly well ar
ranged, and in the course of it she brings out
precisely what the reader wants to know. She
tells him who the Sforzas were how they found
Milan and how they left it.
II was the opinion of MachiaYelli that if the
soldier of fortune often. as he we'll knew,
a serviceable type, he also menace to his
employer How could the successful man at
arms working at his trade for so much cash
in hand, be expected to rest content with only
a sordid reward? If he had the brains to be
leader of men would he not naturally desire
to lead them in politics as well as in war? The
Italian cOndOtticri were, indeed, in many cases
soldiers with the aspirations and sometimes
with the genius of statesmen, and once started
upon a military career they came almost in
evtabIy to desire territorial possessions and
political power. The founder of the house of
Sforza, it happened, lived and died man

avid of civil less than of military authority.
and such the opportunities of the time
that he made himself in due course Duke of

the wit of a commander who thus sfgnaliZed
