A Walk from London to John O’Groat’s

CHAPTER VIII
22/33

Next we have a community of communities, or a commonwealth of these individual populations, generally called a nation.

Here is a lesson for the moral nature.

Here are thousands and tens of thousands of men who never saw each others' faces.

Will this expanded orb of humanity revolve around the same centre as the first family circle, or the first independent community?
How can you give it cohesion and harmony?
Extend the radii of family relationship and influence to its circumference in every direction.
Throne the sovereign in a parent's chair, to execute a father's laws.

He shall treat them as children, and they each other as brethren.
