Many thanks to all those who answered my query.
 
THe quote would seem to come from:
 
The Atlantic Monthly, vol. 3, 1859, p.  457....

 
Google does seem to vary depending on what country you are operating from.  
I did put the complete quote into Google but received only a handful of 
hits  with a maessage that other hits had been rejected as simply repeats. ALL 
the  quotes found were simply Wikipedia or quoting the Wikipedia source.
 
I have also had two occasions where my (German) Google network has found  
hits for a topic (the blunders of our Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle) 
but  omitted the particular hit I was looking for. (It does look for hits in 
all  languages, not just German.) However, I received a pop-up message that 
not all  hits had been displayed and did I want to use a different system. 
This had the  effect of opeining up a second window displaying hits from 
google.de alongside  hits from google.com. And, guesss what? The hit I was 
looking for was  displayed.
 
 I realise I should have ignored google.de for this hit and gone to  
google.com instead.
