In respect of political institutions, which are sanctioned by obligatory rules and a visible authority, two new series of questions arise. Who were the persons invested with authority? In respect of each class of men concerned in the government we shall ask: How were they recruited? What was their official authority? What were their real powers? What were the official rules?
These last fond words were addressed to my prick, which, already rampant again, was claiming attention. We went at it, hammer and tongs. Recruited at luncheon, we renewed the raptures of lubricity as that estimable woman alone knew how to indulge them.
Civilized men, again, are always more easily ruled than savages. But the result was in any case the same. The provincials became Romanized. The conclusion is unjustifiable. The legionaries were throughout recruited from places which were adequately Romanized.
These successes encouraged the pirates, they seeming very lucky beginnings, especially finding their fleet pretty well recruited in a little time: for the first ship arriving at Tortuga, the governor ordered it to be instantly unladen, and soon after sent back, with fresh provisions, and other necessaries, to Lolonois.

Before the end of the siege, an act of blood, ambiguous and indiscreet, sullied the fair fame of Belisarius.
It is not only by what it says, it is by what it leaves untold, by what it forgets to tell, that art has left us such a sincere account of this singular nation. The king and his lieutenants, his ministers and household officers, the veterans who formed the strength of his legions and the young men from whom their numbers were recruited, did not constitute the whole of the Assyrian nation.
The result was the foundation of the seminary of priests of noble family, recruited mainly from the college which the Jesuits had opened at Vienna, and to which had flocked students from all the great families of Hungary, Bohemia, Poland, etc. In conjunction with this seminary, St.
Malaita, then as now, was good recruiting ground, and we ran into Malu, on the northwestern corner. There's a shore reef and an outer reef, and a mighty nervous anchorage; but we made it all right and fired off our dynamite as a signal to the niggers to come down and be recruited. In three days we got not a boy.
