Excerpt from Histoire de la R�publique de Venise

A c�t� de ces grands �v�nements et dans un autre ordre de faits le gouvernement int�rieur de Venise nous offre des enseignements non moins curieux � �tudier: c'est d'abord la politique inqui�te et soup �onneuse de cette r�publique qui asservit tous les citoyens au plus tyrannique contr�le, et qui pour sauver son ind�pendance finit par plier tous les esprits � un inexorable despotisme; ce sont ces tribu naux, ces conseils, cette inquisition d'�tat surtout, dont les'actes glaoent d'efi'roi, et qui n�anmoins trouvent toujours un concours muet et d�vou� chez ceux - l� m�me qui sont le plus en butte � la pers�cution; ce sont enfin les diff�rentes phases de cette organisa tion myst�rieuse qui, malgr� les haines qu'elle excite, parvient � triompher de tous les obstacles et � se maintenir jusqu'aux derniers jours de la r�publique. Le gouvernement de Venise a toujours excit� la surprise on l'admiration de ceux qui en ont �tudi� les principes et les r�sultats; sans cesse on s'�tonne qu'avec un tel syst�me d'op pression et de tyrannie, il ait pu accomplir au dehors tant d'impor tantes conqu�tes, �t qu'au dedans les sciences et les arts aient pu y prendre de si magnifiques d�vel0ppements.
