This is transcription François Guizot's General History of Civilization in Europe, From the Fall of the Roman Empire to the French Revolution
It was not until the 11 & 12 cen
that free cities figure in History
or performed any part in Civ.
The Feudal system & the Church
were both acting in Civ – between
the 5 & 12 cen.
——————
The ^free^ Cities governed by the 3 rd estate
not by the Nobility or Clergy
————
^Modern^ Cities first composed of small
merchants & proprietors of houses
————
The Roman cities were a coalition
of municipalities which had
previously been sovereign &
independent – making peace
& war, governing themselves–
when they united these rights
were transferred to the central
government at Rome.
The Crusades began in the 11 cen
lasted during the 12 & 13th
Until the Crusaders (as a whole) did not exist
[right Margin] the moral unity of nations
[left Margin] Great strength is gained by a thorough
knowledge of the nature of ones own views
& actions, by a complete & rational adoption
of certain principles & designs
