Excerpt from Lives of Eminent British Statesmen, Vol. 5 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.
