Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Machiavelli and the Modern State: Chapters on His "Prince," His Use of History and His Idea of Morals, Being Three Lectures Delivered in 1899 at the Royal Institution St. Thomas Aquinas. That Machiavelli's indebtedness to Dante in respect of his conception of virtu should be so numis takable seems the more startling because our author himself has been at some pains to associate his use of virtu with the nomenclature of medical diagnosis borrowed so continually.
