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.
