Excerpt from Imperial Germany: A Lecture
Europe. Its existence stretched over the thou sand years from Charlemagne, in the beginning Of the ninth century, to Nclpoleon, in the begi. Ning of the nineteenth century. It rested on the sublime idea that it was the sole instrument for manifesting and executing the. Will of God with reference tathe politi.:-1l government of the world. This idea constituted the basis of its pretension to universal dominion, but, like man v of the ideas suggested by the distorted Christi anity of the Middle Ages, it was utterly unre alizable. The mediaeval empire was formed un der the influence of religious visionaries, and declined with the awakening practical intelli gence of modern times. The central power of the Empire gradually vanished before the rising power of the constituent States, till at last the Emperor retained only an empty name and a powerless scepter.
