Imperfectly educated, even for his age, but of ready wit and unbounded curiosity; a general whose iron will and superhuman energy seldom failed in leading his soldiers through difficulties and reverses to ultimate victory; a dreamer whose imagination kindled whenever he came into contact with the great ideas, Christian or pagan, of an older world; a practical statesman whose innate love of order and respect for justice were coupled with a gift for organisation and the power of extracting their best work from his subordinates, it is not for any want of natural qualifications that his claim to rank with the great world-heroes can be challenged.
He was one of those world-heroes of whom nations will be proud as they advance in the toleration of human infirmities, as they draw distinction between those who live for themselves and those who live for their country, and the recognition of those principles on which all progress is based. Cromwell died prematurely, if not for his fame, at least for his usefulness.
