[56] Non merum, si ob hanc facultatem homines saepe etiam non nobiles
consulatum consecuti sunt: praesertim cum haec eadem res plurimas gratias,
firmissimas amicitias, maxima studia pariat. Cic. pro Muraena.
[57] Vivit, vivetque per omnium saeculorum memoriam. Dumque hoc vel forte
vel providentia vel utcunque constitutum rerum naturae corpus, quod ille
paene solus Romanorum animo vidit, ingenio complexus est, eloquentia
illuminavit, manebit incolume: comitem aevi sui laudem Ciceronis trahet;
omnisque posteritas illius in te scripta mirabitur, tuum in eum factum
execrabitur: citiusque in mundo genus hominum, quam cadet. Vell. Patere.
L. 2.
[58] Sir William Jones adds to his other claims upon our admiration
that of a decided partiality to the character and fortunes of our
American Republics. "The sum of my opinion is," says he, "that while all
the American people understand the modern art of war, and learn
jurisprudence by serving in rotation upon grand and petit juries, their
liberty is secure, and they will certainly flourish most when their
public affairs are best administered by their Senate and Councils. I
cannot think a monarchy or an oligarchy _stronger_ in substance,
whatever they may be in appearance, than a popular government.... I
shall not die in peace without visiting your United States for a few
months before the close of the eighteenth century. May I find wisdom and
goodness in your Senate, arms and judicature, which are power, in your
commons, and the blessings of wealth and peace equally distributed among
all." 2 Wynne's Eunomus, 359, note.
