It is by no means true that a great man rises to the greater eminence by being the only celebrated person, than when he is surrounded by a number of distinguished names that yield to the first of all-- his own. It has been a maxim in politics, that the kingly power cannot support itself without a peerage and a nobility. Opinion, indeed, will not suffice: there must be added certain gradations of rank in order to secure supremacy. |
