If England were swallowed up by the sea to-morrow, which of the two, a hundred years hence, would most excite the love, interest, and admiration of mankind, — would most, therefore, show the evidences of having possessed greatness, — the England of the last twenty years, or the England of EHzabeth, of a time of splendid spiritual effort, but when our coal, and our industrial operations depending on coal, were very Httle developed? Well, then, what an unsound habit of mind it must be which makes... us talk of things like coal or iron as constituting the greatness of England, and how salutary a friend is culture, bent on seeing things as they are, and thus dissipating delusions of this kind and fixing standards of per- fection that are real! Wealth, again, that end to which our prodigious works for material advantage are directed, — the commonest of com- monplaces tells us how men are always apt to regard wealth as a precious end in itself; and certainly they have never been so apt thus to regard it as they are in England at the present time.
