On the Character of a Modern European State

I. The somewhat novel associations of human beings which came to be called the states of modern Europe emerged slowly, pre figured in earlier European history, but not without some dramatic passages in their emergence. Each was the outcome of human choices, but none was the product of a design. The manners in which they emerged were as diverse as the local conditions from which they sprang were various. Some established themselves more rapidly than others, their fortunes were uneven, their durability unequal. They were like instruments whose resources awaited the explorations of yet unborn composers.
