great book dedication or greatest book dedication?
![Mrs. Gaskell and her daughters, the eldest a girl of about twenty, were also spending part of the winter in Rome, and Norton saw them constantly. The relations thus established ripened, through the delightful Roman hours, into a close and lasting friendship, of which there is a record in Mrs. Gaskell's dedication of “Sylvia's Lovers" in the first American edition of that story:' . . .
[the dedication]
This Book is Dedicated To all
My Northern Friends
With the truest sympathy of an English Woman; and in an especial manner to my dear Friend
Charles Eliot Norton
And to his Wife
Who, though personally unknown to me, is yet dear to me for his sake.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bczoelpvffcqo7haqvbtsdxo/bafkreify7leolvnhrca7quj5l7evbmszbiu6x7lpmcgvnlausxbxietrmm@jpeg)

This, from a foreign observer (who I think is smart & has some interesting things to say), also strikes me as wrong. Parliamentary democracy has plenty to recommend it, but the lack of a single opposition leader is not the problem here. In fact, it benefits the party out of power in this context.
