Excerpt from Considerations on Some of the Elements and Conditions of Social Welfare and Human Progress: Being Academic and Occasional Discourses and Other Pieces In unison with the tone of popular opinion - par ticularly in relation to the working of our political institutions and to our future fortunes as a nation.
