Show Public Opinion. People say how strong public opinion opin-ion is; and, indeed, it is strong while it is in its prime. In its childhood and old age it is as weak as any other organism. I try to make my own work belong to the youth of public opinion. The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion, as geology geol-ogy is the record of the decay of those bodily organisms in which public opinions opin-ions have found material expression. Samuel Butler. |
