He would be a rash prophet who should assert that the expansive character of American life has now entirely ceased.

Página 295 - ... without the assistance and co-operation of many thousands, the very meanest person in a civilized country could not be provided, even according to what we very falsely imagine, the easy and simple manner in which he is commonly accommodated.
