Excerpt from The Policy of Princes: An Essay, Containing, Together With Much Useful Advice to Legitimate Monarchs, a Faithful Picture of the Present State of Europe
The following treatise appeared anonymously at Vienna, and was generally attributed to the principal editor of the lviener Jahrbiicker der Litteratur but the French translation, which was published a few xdays ago at Paris, gives it to a member of the Austrian Legation, meaning,i presume, of the Legation at Paris. The writer, however, has evidently been very lately in England, and I could not help thinking he might belong to the household of Prince Esterhazy; on inquiry, however, I find that no one attached to his Excellency is suspected of authorship. It matters 0 little, however, to whom the essay ought to be ascribed; the value of the sentiments cannot be affected by the name of the author, who, at all events, seems' to have travelled far, to have seen much, and read more. How far his sentiments may accord with those now prevalent amongst us, remains to be proved. Like all other writers on controverted points, he pushes his argu ments as far as they can well go, perhaps farther; but he is evidently sincere, and his extravagance, if any, is far less pernicious than the ravings of liberalism. Nothing more remains to be said, except that I have endeavoured to give to him an entirely English air 0 and manner, and, following the best rule for transla 5 tion, to make him speak our language as if it had I been originally his own.
