sation commenced in nooks and corners OF
the earth, where seas, mountains, deserts.
afforded shelter to communities strug ling
for growth against the bleak winds of sur.
rounding barbarism. Egypt, Phenicia.
Greece, the islands and coasts of Italy
were thus. one by one, placed at the head
OF the movement in the western world:
each as it were a separate spot OF firm
ground, the dwelling Of intelle, and arr,
and Of the science Of law and order, amidst
The wild chaos OF the yet void and formless
continents. Slowly and timidly did civili-
sation relinquish these fortresses, and spread
over the neighboring plains. And even in
the latest periods Of history, Venice needed
her lagunes, Hulland her dykes, England
her ocean, to secure the growth of those
principles OF government. industry, and
freedom, OF which they have been the an.
pointed nurseries. And hence it grew up
as fixed opinion among politicians, first
that free Institutions could only flourish in
countries Of limited extent and popula.
ton; secondly, that the energy and action
even oil desPotc governments, were weak.
ened by extensive dominion.
The present century, so fertile in new
circumstances and new ideas, has devel.
oPed new principles Of human society. in
this respect also; and the politicians of our
generation must prepare to go to a school
IN which the maxims of Machiavel and
Montesqueu must be to a certain extern

We must accustom ourselves to the con.
temptation Of space and numbers as the

subsist between kingdoms as now subs;s,
between provinces Of the same kingdoms
while provinces become as parishes-no
civilised nation can long keep its knowl |
edge, its habits, its industry, its very spirit
to itself; all will be sections of a great
whole. between which relative size and
population will form the principal dis,inc.
tons. Nor will there be any practical
limits to the extension Of Empire. Steam
will render the action of government on all
parts oil the political body, in ordinary
times, immediate and certain; and thus Sc.
cure csntralisation and unity. Steam will
render the action Of the people on the gov.
