话说山海关外，沈阳之东，有一个部落，名叫建州卫，其人种系东鞑靼族，赵宋时代在世界上也曾大显过一番神通。我们翻阅古籍，有所谓大金国太祖皇帝，就是这一族里头的头等角色。自金国为辽邦所灭，这一族人民，流离奔窜，苦得要不的。吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。哪里知道经过二百多年之后，竟然产出一个豪杰来，把东鞑靼民族从地狱中直跳至天堂里。你道这豪杰是谁？就是中华民国年费四百万金供养的额外皇帝、宣统爷的老祖宗——姓爱新觉罗，名布库里里雍顺。这觉罗雍顺，生得骨相非凡，智谋出众，知道野蛮时代不借神权怪说，不足压服群侪，托言自己是天女佛库伦所生，果然番族人民全部信服，就拥戴他为本部酋长，此为满洲部落聚集的开始。
Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common-Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil—commonly referred to as Leviathan—is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668). Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Leviathan ranks as a classic western work on statecraft comparable to Machiavelli's The Prince.
