The most graceful of all was Raphael of Urbino. His colors were finer than those found in nature, and
his invention was original as anyone can realize by looking at his scenes. Which bring before our eyes
sites and buildings, the ways and customs of our own or of foreign peoples.
Michelangelo Buonarroti is supreme not in one art alone but in all three. Michelangelo has triumphed
over later artists, over the artists of the ancient world, over nature itself. He has shown his genius not
only in painting but also in the creation of sculptural works in full relief. And his fruitful and inspiring
labors have already spread their branches so wide that the world has been filled with an abundance of
fruits.
And the same holds true of Michelangelo's pictures. If it were possible to place them beside the
paintings of those Greeks and Romans they would be even more highly regarded as being as much
superior to the antiques.
We rightly admire the artists of the past who created great work, knowing their prize would be a happy
life and a generous reward. How much more, then, should we praise those rare men of genius who
create priceless work and who live not only unrewarded but in circumstances of poverty! It is true that
if the artists of our own time were justly rewarded they would produce even greater works of art, far
superior to those of the ancient world. Instead, the artist today struggles to ward off famine rather
than to win fame...
George Vasari
Explain in essay form , why the artists of the Renaissance greatly valued
the art of the classical world?
Explain why the civilization developed in areas with agriculture established?
Things they value most highly. Hence offerings are made of horses, arms, golden cloth, precious
stones and such ornaments, worthy of the greatness of the Prince...
We now consider what should be the manners and attitudes of a prince toward his subjects. A man
striving in every way to be good will meet his ruin among the great number who are not good. It is
necessary for a prince if he wishes to remain in power, to learn how not to be good.
Here the question arises. Whether it is better to be loved than feared or feared than loved. The answer
is that it would be desirable to be both. Since that is difficult, it is much safer to be feared than to be
loved, if one must choose. For on men in general this observation may be made: they are ungrateful,
fickle, and deceitful, and avid for gain...Hence a wise leader cannot and should not keep his
word when keeping it is not to his advantage or when the reasons that made him give it are no longer
valid. Since men are wicked and will not keep faith with you, you are not bound to keep faith with
them....
It is good to appear merciful, trustworthy, humane, religious, and honest, and also to be so, but always
with the mind that, when the occasion arises not to be so, you can become the opposite. It must be
understood that the necessity of preserving the state often compels him to take actions which are
opposed to loyalty, charity, humanity, and religion. As I have said, so far as he is able, a prince should
stick to the path of good but, if the necessity arises, he should know how to follow evil.

DEDICATED MOST RESPECTFULLY TO THE BRITISH LEGISLATURE. THOSE who were involved in the
trade, manufactures, and commerce of this country thirty or forty years ago, formed but a very small
portion of the Empire. Prior to that period, Britain was agricultural. From that time to the present,
trade has increased so rapidly as to have raised commerce to an importance, that it never previously
had in any country. This change has been due to the mechanical inventions which introduced the
cotton trade into this country, and to the cultivation of cotton in America... The numerous useful
fabrics manufactured from cotton soon became objects of desire in Europe and America. The
resulting extension of the British foreign trade was such as to astonish and confound [confuse]
statesmen both at home and abroad. The immediate effects of this manufacturing phenomenon were
a rapid increase of the wealth, industry, population and political influence of the British Empire. By the
aid of which it has been enabled to contend for twenty-five years against the most formidable military
and immoral power that the world perhaps ever contained.

Improvement of Those Parts of it Which are Most Injurious to Health and Morals, (Second Edition), R.

Aristotle, Greek philosopher, scientist and mathematician, 384 - 324 BCE "As to the gure of the earth it must necessarily be spherical.... If it were not so, the eclipses of the moon would not have such sections as they have. For in the congurations in the course of a month the decient part takes all dierent shapes; it is straight, and concave, and convex; but in eclipses it always has the line of divisions convex; wherefore, since the moon is eclipsed in consequence of the interposition of the earth, the periphery of the earth must be the cause of this by having a spherical form. And again, from the appearance of the stars it is clear, not only that the earth is round, but that its size is not very large... For some stars are seen in Egypt or Cyprus, but are not seen in the countries to the north of these. The stars in the north are visible while they make a complete circuit, there undergo a setting... The mathematicians who try to calculate the measure of the circumference, make it amount to four hundred thousand stadia. From this, we understand that the Earth is not only spherical but is not large compared with the other stars.
