of culture rare,

transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old laissez faire school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
