Literary Studies Vol I
Author: Walter Bagehot

LITERARY STUDIES-IN TWO VOLURIES VOL. I. - 1891 - ADVERTISEMENT THE FOURTH EDITION - THE only changes that have been made in this edition are corrections of the press, the need of which has been discovered since the tliird edition was issued. For a few of these I have been indebted to the very carefully annotated American edition of Mr. Bagehots... more » works brought out at Hartford, Connecticut, by Mr. Forrest Morgan, of the Travellers Insurance Society. In some cases I think that the American editor gas missed Mr. Bagehots meaning, and have not, therefore, accepted his corrections. R. H. H. November 1, 1800, ADVERTISEMENT. SEVERAL of the following Essays were published by I - . B OEHO hi T m self in a volume which appeared in 1858, entitled Estimates of some Englishmen anc. Scotchmen -a volume which has now long been out of print. A good many others arc republished, now for the first time, from The National Review, in which they appeared, while one other-that on Henry Crabb Robinson,-is taken, with the kind permission of the Editor, from The Fortnig7 tly Revieu two short meta physical papers are from the Co zten2porary I2eview, and three-one biographical and two poli ticnl-from the Bconomist. The Prehtory Meinoir is also republisllecl, with the Editors permission, froin The Fortnigllhtly S Review. I11 all cases the date of the first publication has been appended to each Essay. The Portrait was taken in photography by Monsieur Adolplle Beau, in - 1864. It has been printed by Messrs. Locke Whitfield by the Woodburv process. A re l2 ber 1878. CONTENTS OB THE FIRST VOLUME.

IT is inevitable, I suppose, that the world should judge of a man chiefly by what it has gained in him, and lost by his death, even though a very little reflection might sometimes show that the special qualities which made him so useful to the world implied others of a yet higher order, in which, to those who knew him well, these more conspicuous characteristics must have been well-nigh merged. And while, of course, it has given me great pleasure, as it must have given pleasure to all Bagehots friends, to hear the Chancellor of the Exchequers evidently genuine tribute to his financial sagacity in the Budget speech of 1877, and Lord Granvilles eloquent acknowledgments of the value of Bagehots political coounsels as Editor of the Economist, in the - speech delivered at the London University on May 9, 1877, I have sometimes felt somewhat unreasonably vexed that those who appreciated so well what I may almost call the smallest part of him, appeared to know so little of the essence of him,-of the high-spirited, This essay appeared in the Tortnightly Review for October 1877, and is now republished, with slight alterat. ions, by the kind permission of the editor and proprietors of that Review. In most of the alterations now made, as well as in a great part of the original essay, I have been greaOly assisted by the help of Mrs. Walter Ragehot, puu d s y sy ans ur . yg . r i a wry ur ar uzruayq q prr ssaursnq jo UGUI ay qsy9- aSusx pwxou J uroq asuas auros ur qqSnoxq ay a uaras p, rurouooa pug por .
