Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV. CONCLUSION. "D ALMERSTON'S great merit as a governing man arose from his perfect sympathy with those whom he was called upon to govern ;--and his demerit, such as it was, sprang from the same cause. He was bold, industrious, honest, strong in purpose as in health, eager, unselfish, and a good comrade.

And these men at the same time did believe themselves, and truly believed themselves, to be intellectually his superiors. Let us take Guizot as one of the number, who had much to do with Palmerston, and with whom Palmerston was much concerned. Guizot must have been conscious of brighter faculties and greater thinking power. But he must have been aware that in all discussions among men of the same class Palmerston's word was the strongest, because of his probity, and truth, and industry. The same idea occurs to us in reading what has been written of him since his death. He is called "stupid" and "blundering" by those who have been opposed to his politics as a War Minister. But such as his politics ...
