As for the precepts of government, we can trust the man who, knowing how to win the good graces of the powerful, was able to eliminate his enemies, reach the first place and retain it for two reigns, until his death.
We will therefore find in this Breviary – a series of maxims and prescriptions
which mark the actions of the public man – a “pragmatic lesson” which can, even today, constitute the vade-mecum of any man of power.
