Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Florence, too, was a commercial state, the possession of land was merely an accident in the possession of power, - a part, but the least important part, of wealth, we find all the commercial problems of a later date already alive - the uneasy relations between capital and labour, the employment of foreign politics as a means to commercial extension, the manipulation of a state debt, with shares whose value fluctuated as the prosperity of the Government. Here, too, are found in almost every individual that very modern craving to obtain a share, however small, in the direction of the national policy, here, as in modern politics, the difficulty of establishing an executive powerful enough and sufficiently many-sided to embrace and com with the complicated and manifold conditions of modern administration, here efforts like those of a modern foreign minister to make his policy consistent and effective, and yet agreeable to the public whim Government must be maintained either by brute force or by clearly-expressed public Opinion, never by the inert acquiescence of the governed in any rule that had an appearance of hereditary right.
