The Men at the Helm

Excerpt from The Men at the Helm: Biographical Sketches of Great English Statesmen I am not aware that the lives of our statesmen have ever before been brought together in a volume of moderate compass, notwithstanding the interest which necessarily attaches to history at once so romantic and matter-of-fact. We have good reason, however, to be proud of those men who stood at the helm while the ship of the State was toiling through laborious seas, and buffeted by perilous storms. In fair weather we are too apt to forget how much we owe to their constancy, courage, and skill - to the brains which guided, and the hearts which never despaired of, the fortunes of the commonwealth. May Englishmen ever treasure as a precious heritage the fame of a Hampden, a Walpole, and a Chatham - a Pitt, a Canning, and a Peel!
