On American Democracy, Lord Bryce, 1919 (423G)
America has still a long vista of years stretching before her in which she will enjoy conditions far more auspicious than any European country can count upon. And that America marks the highest level, not only of material well-being, but of intelligence and happiness, which the race has yet attained will be the judgment of those who look not at the favored few, for whose benefit the world seems hither to have framed its institutions, but at the whole body of the people.
