Excerpt from Economic History of England

Nature tends to irregularity and lack of symmetry; human institutions follow the same path. A tree develops, and has a definite character at a particular time; a child grows, but lives his own life though he may not be fully developed. So a people at any period thinks of itself as in some way different from what it was; it considers that it has invented the virtues. Yet at a future time the nation will look back on all its shortcomings with pity and contempt; more of the old abuses will then have been toned down and better qualities developed. This means that though a people may consider that it has reached a final and perfect form, yet it is simply passing through a phase.
