Text Appearing Before Image:
d by the obstinacy of the two cities which hewas attacking, that encouraged a rival to come forward andseize the throne; just as in the Persian history we shall findthe prolonged absence of Cambyses in Egypt produce a revolu-tion and change of dynasty at Susa. In the East, where themonarch is not merely the chief but the sole power in the state,the moving spring whose action must be continually exertedto prevent the machinery of government from standing still, itis always dangerous for the reigning prince to be long awayfrom his metropolis. The Orientals do not use the languageof mere unmeaning compUment when they compare theirsovereigns with the sun,*^ and speak of them as impartinglight and life to the country and people over which they rule.In the kings absence all languishes; the course of justice issuspended; public works are stopped: the expenditure ofthe Court, on which the prosperitj of the capital mainly de-pends, being withdrawn, trade stagnates, the highest branches Vol. I.
