Excerpt from Parallels Between the Constitution and Constitutional History of England and Hungary

It behoves Englishmen to remember, always, whence that inheritance of freedom which they now enjoy is sprung; that it is not a thing of yesterday; that it has been handed down through many generations and many centuries; that it has stood the test of deep-eating time, and braved, and been only proved of the more inestimable value by, all changes of fashion, and all advances of material civilization. It behoves them to consider well that an inheritance such as this must have some solid foundations something whose root lies at the very essence of human nature in its higher and nobler development. It behoves them well to seek what those foundations are and, if they would hand down to their children, sound and whole, the inheritance which they have received, to take care that no blow is, under any pretext, successfully aimed at those foundations; but that all the arrangements which the events of the passing time may need, shall be made upon the basis of those foundations, and with strictest care to maintain those foundations unimpaired.'
