Excerpt from The Living Rulers of Mankind
It cannot be denied that there has been a considerable transference of power from Kings and Queens, Princes, and other Rulers of the world to the hands of their subjects, and the elected representatives of the people. But, side by side with the growth of democratic institutions and ideals, we see another tendency, which, perhaps, can be best expressed in the form of a paradox, thus - The less they govern, the more important becomes the personal influence of the governors' We do not mean to say that this applies to all countries; it certainly does not apply to such countries as Afghanistan, Abyssinia, or China. But it certainly applies to some European countries, and especially to Great Britain and Ireland.
