Democracy in its present unwieldy form-is, of course, a modern creation, and marks the fulle: measure of the share in government which is now given to all sections of the cominunity. The form favoured by the Greeks and Romans would not be recognised as democratic by modera riations. They had thousands of slayes to whom, of course, the franchise was denied. Their system was in reality an oligarchy. Moreover, their cities were of small dimensions. The English form finally took shape, in 1832 when the doctrine that by some beautifully divine economy each one in pursuing his own selfish ende, was inevitably contributing to the welfare of the whole was finally accepted.
