To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what is the Government of this country ? I do not touch, for a moment, the sacredness that surrounds the Throne : and I know who administer the government of the country. But I am speaking of the real power, in so far as it is a power that human power, which actually determines the political course of this couu"ry. Nation : and of that power what is commonly called the Govern- ment is but a part, though a very important part. In the long run, and on the whole, the people of England are 5«?^...-governed. I do not mean that the blind ^vill of a numerical majority governs. I allow great weight — not indeed so much as there should be — to whatever wisdom and virtue exists, and can make itseK heard, in the land. I allow great weight — perhaps in some cases rather more than there should be — to the influence of various classes and in- terests among us, from the highest to the lowest. But allowing for all this, and remembering that of course such statements are not correct as to small details, and are to be taken with reference to the broad Unes of history and the abiding principles of the nation^s course, I say that the ultimate dehberate issue and ex- pression of the various balanced forces which make up the mind of the whole people, is that by which England is moved.
