Excerpt from The Theory of Our National Existence: As Shown by the Action of the Government of the United States Since 1861The remark is attributed to Paley that it is much harder to make men see a difficulty than to make them understand the explanation Of it. Mr. Walter Bagehot, a writer on the English Constitution, in referring to this as a shrewd observation adds: The key to the difficulties of most discussed and unsettled questions is commonly in their undiscussed parts. They are like the background of a picture, which looks Obvious, easy, just what any one might have painted, but which in fact sets the figures in their right position, chastens them, and makes them what they are.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
