Here actually here, in these nooks all crumbling under Time's gnawing tooth did old Cistercian monks kneel with shaved heads and confess their sins, and their bones have been powdered into dust three hundred years! Romsey Abbey within whose well-kept walls we rather yawned over Palmerstonian eulogiums is a thousand years old. This abbey is only six hundred and thirty-two years old.
Those who were young in the weary days of Palmerstonian rule will remember the disgust at purely political life which was produced by the bureaucratic inaction of the time, and we can hardly wonder that, like many of the finer minds among his contemporaries, Edward Denison turned from the political field which was naturally open to him to the field of social effort.
One day the British Foreign Minister received, from a source of which we know nothing but the Foreign Office in the Palmerstonian epoch was exceedingly well informed a communication which, having read, he did not deposit among the official documents at Downing Street, but carefully sealed up and placed among his own private papers.
The year 1876 witnessed the re-opening of the Eastern Question in a most threatening manner, the Disraeli Ministry taking up what may be termed the Palmerstonian view that the maintenance of Turkey was essential to the stability of the Indian Empire. As happened in and after 1854, Russia, when thwarted in Europe, sought for her revenge in the lands bordering on India.
