Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Eminent British Statesmen, Vol. 5 In, in making a selection from British statesmen, those only were taken to whom the character of Hero may be ascribed, we should have but scanty volumes. If every politician were included who has been im portant in his own day, we should have a library interesting only to the minute historian. Preserving the distinction between biography and history it is desirable to give such Lives as illustrate each succeeding age: such biography will not supply the place of his tory but, without it, history will be less perfectly um derstood and remembered. I have said, of one of the statesmen whose lives occupy this volume, that he was neither a'hero nor a genius; and the same remark is applicable to the other. This want of a distinctive character, nay, even the absence of fanaticism, political or religious, has greatly augmented my difficulty in writing, and will probably lessen the interest in reading, the Lives of Cecil and Danby.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eminent British Statesmen, Vol. 2 IN giving the lives of the most prominent actors upon the great and awful stage of the Old English Revolution, the Author has thought himself justified in departing from the system observed by his pre decessors, and, instead of the numerous individual sketches that, under other circumstances, are all that is necessary, devoting awhole volume at a time to but two or three of those eventful biographies which include the histories of minor contemporaries, and, indeed, the history of the age itself. For the times, awful as they were, were scarcely greater than the men - the ideas of both present them selves to us at once, like shadowy and solid giants standing together, and hardly letting us discern which leads the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eminent British Statesmen, Vol. 4 Tms volume completes that portion of the series which relates to the statesmen of the English commonwealth. The subjects have been selected with reference to the various stages in the struggle, from the opposition in the reign of James to the breaking out of the civil war, and thence to the execution of Charles, the usurp ation of Cromwell, and the resumption of power by the republicans on the abdication of his son. The prin cipal and greatest person who adhered to Charles has not been omitted. Four lives, out of the six, are here written in a detached shape for the first time for, though few have been able todispute the celebrated saying of bishop Warburton, that, at the period they illustrate, the spirit of liberty was at its height in this country, and its interests were conducted and supported by a set of the greatest geniuses for government that the world ever saw embarked together in one common cause, the number of those who have troubled themselves to in quire into the reason or precise value of this saying have been fewer still. It is surely a grave reproach to English political biography, that the attention so richly due to the statesmen who opposed Charles the First, in themselves the most remarkable men of any age or nation, should have been suffered to be borne away by the poorer imitators of their memorable deeds, the au thors of the imperfect settlement of 1688.
