"Democracy is more than a form of government. It is a social ideal; and the difíiculty of the ideal is commensurate with its nobility." But there is a danger that as we use the word often we may grow accustomed to the word and forget what it means.
Mr Lennard starts from Lincoln's famous phrase, and makes a fundamental study of the extraordinarily rich implications in it. Such a study brings out in full the distinction between the merely plausible and the well-founded. He then discusses the essence, the spirit, the roots, the growth of Democracy; the relations between Democracy and war, and education; and finally what effect the decline of individualism and the recent emergence of collectivism are likely to have upon the practice of Democracy in the future.
