Russell Kirk

"What the Fabian Society was in Britain, The Philadelphia Society is becoming in America--but moving in the opposite direction. For [more than] a quarter of a century these conservative...scholars have been talking among themselves; now their discussions influence in a large way the great public decisions. If an American Augustan Age is commencing, The Philadelphia Society people will be architects of national renewal--that is, of an edifice far better and more enduring than the New Deal."
