Summary

This quote suggests that countries that were once known for striving for freedom and liberty now seem to tolerate slavery without much resistance. It implies that there has been a shift in attitude and a decline in the fervor for abolishing this oppressive practice. This observation highlights the irony and hypocrisy within these societies, as the passion for liberty seems to have diminished over time, allowing the endurance of one of the gravest violations of human rights.

From every book invisible threads reach out to other books; and as the mind comes to use and control those threads the whole panorama of the world's life, past and present, becomes constantly more varied and interesting, while at the same time the mind's own powers of reflection and judgment are exercised and strengthened.
