1 " Some kings of England could not read or write; some died of illness whichwould keep us in bed only for a week or two; some had palaces so cold thewine froze on the banqueting table; some lost wives and heirs in needlessdeaths at childbirth; and some fled regularly as plague swept London.Quite ordinary men, women and children nowadays live much healthier,longer, more luxurious lives than the great men they read about in historybooks. Yet never before have we been so agitated about the poor, the sick,the unfortunate and the ill-educated among us. We are all fussed over bythe State from birth to burial. "
