Pollock, Frederick; Maitland, William.  1. Cambridge University Press. 1968 [1898].
751年倫巴底攻取粉紅色的拉溫納督主教區後，東羅馬在義大利半島（黃色）和倫巴底領土（橙色）分佈勢力示意圖。
1122年敘任權爭奪達成協議後歐洲封建社會三個階級示意圖，教會和貴族相互協作統治勞動者。
第一等級是聖職者。
當時報紙漫畫，具象的描繪出第三等級背負著第一等級(神職人員)及第二等級(貴族)的困窘。
封面圖案最上方頭戴王冠的絕對的威權”利維坦”，身體是由許多社會人群共構的，每個人都將他與生俱來擁有的，只保留自己免於一死自然權力交付給這權威“利維坦”，成為它的主權，左手握宗教“法杖” ，右手握世俗“利劍”——以維持內部和平，避免“所有人對所有人的戰爭”;圖的下方:左側表示“世俗”維持秩序的權力;右側表示“宗教” 維護倫理的權力。這個圖示表明的“公權力和每個自然人”的契約概念，領域等級概念模糊了，最終演化為現代國家的運作模式。
