This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
One group of kingdoms was founded under cover of a legal fiction;
the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths, and the Burgundians claimed to be
the allies of the Empire. At one time or another they obtained the
recognition of Constantinople for their settlements. Their kings
accepted or usurped the titles of imperial administrators, stamped
their coins with the effigies of the reigning Emperor, dated their
proclamations by the names of the consuls for the year, and in many
other ways flaunted their nominal subjection as the legal basis of
their actual sovereignty. This fiction did not prevent them from
governing their new dominions in true Teutonic fashion, through
royal bailiffs, who administered the state demesnes, and military
officers (dukes, counts, etc.) who ruled with autocratic sway over
administrative districts.
This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger
Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain
imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed
pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we
have made it available as part of our commitment to protecting,
preserving, and promoting the world's literature. Kessinger

hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone!

Ethicsthe philosopher discusses the nature of the state, of
citizenship, of public education and private wealth. In what is a
