A commonplace condiment enough it seems to us now, easily to be dispensed with, and not worth purchasing at a thousand human lives or so the cargo, but it was once the great prize to be struggled for by civilized nations.

It was this growth of internal civilization which formed the second and most lasting of the achievements of the Empire.
Here, without any written or established code of laws, without the power of the press and the support of public sentiment, absolutely exiled from all communication with civilized resources, unaided and alone, their orators presented the affairs of the moment to the assembled tribe, swaying the minds and wills of their fellows into concerted and heroic action.
Why, he even said your father ought to send you to school somewhere, and not let you grow up in this half civilized place."
