Excerpt from Utopia Limited, or the Flowers of ProgressMelene (lazily). We are very well as we are. Life Without a care - every want supplied by a kind and fatherly monarch, who, despot though he be, has no other thought than to make his people happy - What have we to gain by the great change that is in store for us?Sal. What have we to gain? English institutions, English tastes, and oh, English fashions!Cal. England has made herself what she is because, in that favoured land, everyone has to think for himself. Here we have no need to think, because our monarch anticipates all our wants, and our political Opinions are formed for us by the journals to Which we subscribe. Oh, think how much more brilliant this dialogue would have been, if we had been accustomed to exercise our re¿ective powers! They say that in England the conversation of the very meanest is a coruscation of impromptu epigram!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
