That he might have been one of them, if ready to share the plunder and the power, no reader of the history of the time can doubt. Had he so chosen he might again have been a ''real power in the State;'' but to become so in the way proposed to him it was necessary that he should join others in a conspiracy against the Republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
