With fine poetic insight, Lord Tennyson has noted in his funeral Ode the qualities that enabled him to overcome the unexampled difficulties caused by our own incompetent Government and by jealous, exacting, and slipshod allies: "Mourn for the man of long-enduring blood, The statesman-warrior, moderate, resolute, Whole in himself, a common good." Glory and vexation were soon to be his.
"The man of long-enduring blood, The statesman-warrior, moderate, resolute, Whole in himself, a common good;... ...The man of amplest influence, Yet clearest of ambitious crime, Our greatest yet with least pretence, Great in council and great in war, Foremost captain of his time, Rich in saving common-sense. And, as the greatest only are.

Whether it be the boudoir of a strumpet or the death-bed of a monarch the strong character of a statesman-warrior abounding in contrasts and rich in mystery, or the personal history of a judge trained in the Old Bailey to vulgarize and ensanguine the King's Bench he luxuriates with a vigour and variety of language and illustration which renders his "History" an attractive and absorbing story-book.
