Excerpt from The Predictions of Hamilton and De Tocqueville

A student of American institutions who desires to discover what have been the main tendenciesruling and guiding their development, may find that the most dramatic and not the least instructive method of conducting his inquiry is to exam ine what were the views held, and the predictions delivered at different points in the growth of the Republic, by acute and well-informed observers. The contemporary views of such men as to the tendencies which prevailed in their own day and the results to be expected from such tendencies have a value that no analysis made by us now, with our present lights, our knowledge of what has actually followed, could possess, because we cannot help reading into the records of the past the results of all subsequent experience.
