The commission's report, as finally published, declared that the grant of self-government to Egypt could not be safely postponed; that the nationalist spirit could not be extinguished; that an attempt to govern Egypt in the teeth of a hostile people would be "a difficult and disgraceful task"; and that it would be a great misfortune if the present opportunity for a settlement were lost.
"Wait a jiffy and I'll get some jam wild strawberry with crumpets is heavenly." Catherine was back in the specified jiffy, and in a few moments the two friends were chatting comfortably over their tea-cups. York Hill like most modern schools had adopted a modified form of self-government.
The body which had the means to pay the king's price was generally the local merchant guild; and while these transactions developed local government, they did not necessarily promote popular self-government, because the merchant guild was a wealthy oligarchical body, and it might exercise the jurisdiction it had bought from the king in quite as narrow and harsh a spirit as he had done.

By May, 1844, the population of the Territory numbered over seventy-five thousand souls. When the Legislative Assembly met in December, 1843, Governor Chambers was confident that the population of Iowa had "attained a numerical strength" which entitled the people to a participation in the government of the Union and to the full benefits of local legislation and local self-government.
But it is still a grave question whether Italy is ripe for self-government and whether, were it possible that the Austrian domination could be shaken off the very passions so excited, the very bloodshed so poured forth, would not ultimately place the larger portion of Italy under auspices less favourable to the sure growth of freedom, than those which silently brighten under the sway of the German Caesar.
