As a whole:her affection for humanity in the mass...
Contemporary Americans, in the mass, seem to have lost sight of, and connection with, the past.
There had to be minds to perceive ideas, and since only a small minority of our ideas were the products of our own fancy, they had in the mass to have some external cause.
Democracies work well, and my hypothesis is that this is because people in the mass have a different kind of intelligence at work.
