To MY CHILDREN CHRISTINE ESTE of Adana, LLOYD IRVING of Constantinople, and EMILY ELIZABETH of Paris. Born in the midst of the wars and changes that this book describes, may they lead lives of peace!
There are general causes, moral or physical, which act in each State, elevate it, maintain it, or cast it down; every accident is submitted to these causes, and if the fortune of a battle, that is to say a particular cause, has ruined a State, there was a general cause which brought it about that that State had to perish by a single battle.
MONTESQUIEU.
