Reseña del editor

Of the many ways in which common-sense inferences about social affairs so writes Mr. Herbert Spencer in his most recent essay are flatly contradicted by events, one of the most curious is the way in which, the more things improve, the louder become the exclamations about their badness. Of this tendency of human nature Mr. Spencer gives not a few striking examples. He might, however, have found another at least equally striking in the attitude of the English public to the Railway Companies. A generation back the companies did pretty much what was right in their own eyes, and let their will avouch the deed. Speaking even of a time as recent as twenty years back, the most competent of American observers Professor Hadley expresses his unbounded astonishment at the impudence with which they openly defied a regularly constituted public authority.
