And passing now from ancient to modern times, we find England and France attracting attention of all nations, and teaching them eloquent lessons of all sorts in the matter of government. The revolution of these two great peoples, like a brilliant meteor, has flooded the world with such a profusion of political light that now all thinking men have learned what are the rights of men, what are their duties, what constitutes the excellency of a government and what its vices. . . . Let us not lose, then, the benefit of the lessons drawn from experience, and may the schools of Greece, Rome, France, England and America instruct us in the difficult science of creating and maintaining the nations under proper laws, just, legitimate and above all useful. We must never forget that the superiority of a government does not consist in its theories, or in its form, or in its mechanism, but in its being appropriate”
