or the Italian peninsula.

Now that the pomp, glory, and circumstance of the feudal state have
passed away, we may leisurely look back on its history, contemplate its
features, and observe its effects and tendencies. In this retrospect we
are encouraged by the better condition of the age in which we live, and
the brightening prospects of the future. But in all our inquiries and
wanderings let us never forget that man has in all ages been inconstant,
and human nature imperfect, and that the best of all institutions are
probably those which approximate the laws that Solon gave to the
Athenians; who said, "My laws are not the best ones possible, but they
are the best which the Athenians can bear."
