We have said that to posterity this age will appear not inferior to the "spacious times of great Elizabeth." Great in war, with generals more triumphant and an influence more powerful than anything achieved in that reign; great in the arts, if not as applied to the embellishment and glory of life (for there is no painter in it worthy the name), yet to its service and enrichment-for railways and steamboats both began in this exuberant era; great as no age ever was before in philanthropy, for ever distinguished as the time in which Slavery was abolished-we know of no such simultaneous and splendid action of all the forces of the intellect. The same period contains what is confessedly the greatest political event in the world since our Commonwealth, the French Revolution, with all its sudden influences which have worn out in the minds of individual men, and all those slower workings, which are not exhausted nor probably ever will be. These great things belong to another province of history. Our business has been to show how the quickened life found utterance in words, and with what eloquence and energy the genius of the nation interpreted its highest thoughts and noblest life.
