Melpomene sat in front of her mirror in her room simply running the brush through her hair.
Her red hair was in a frizzy, tangled mess about her head and about her neck hung an assortment of beaded necklaces in bright colors that clacked together with each barefooted step, keeping time to the tune she was humming.

 The Claremont Institute: That All Tragedy is Local   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Book 18 constitutes the reply to this inquiry, in the form of a demonstration of the weight of particular or local material determinism and the course of development beyond it.
When we remember that Book 18 disposes ultimately of the argument from climatic determinism (the appearance in XXIV.25 to the contrary notwithstanding) — and hence of that element of Herodotus — we are left with the sole, apparent Herodotean claim that politics should not seek to alter religions.
Consequently, Montesquieu closes Book 18 with a not so gentle reminder why this is a portion of the work and not properly a history: it fails to account for the role and origins of religion among the primitive Europeans.
