This
section is the consolidation of three sections, as the earlier
texts presented the material. The second, entitled "Luxury
belongs to royal authority by nature," begins on p. 338, 1. 1
and the third, entitled "Tranquility
and quiet belong to royal authority by nature," begins on p.
328, 1.21. C still has the old
division in the text but also contains corrections and slight
changes made at the beginning of the original sections, and
these are incorporated in the text of D. |
