ANARCHY is also applied to certain troublesome and disorderly periods, even in governments otherwise regular. In England, the period between the death of Cromwell and King Charles's restoration is commonly represented as an anarchy. Every month produced a new scheme or form of government. Enthusiasts talked of nothing but annulling all the laws, abolishing all writings, records, and registers, and bringing all men to the primitive level. No modern nation is more subject to anarchy than Poland; where every interval between the death of one king and the election of another is a perfect picture of confusion, inasmuch that it is a proverb among that people, Poland is governed by confusion. The Jewish history presents numerous instances of anarchy in that state, usually denoted by this phrase, that in those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes; which is a just picture of an anarchy.
