From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Four short paragraphs, and each one sorts things into kinds. Number the divisions as they are made, so the chapter reads as an outline. Then look at “Such dominions thus acquired”: does the phrase mean the annexed members only, or all the new principalities? Pencil the words that decide.
At the close of Chapter I, The Prince.
