He was the son of a banker, and after graduating at University College, London, and being called to the bar, he joined his father in business. In 1851 he went to Paris, and was there during the coup détat of Louis Napoleon, of which he gave a vivacious account in letters to an English journal. Soon after his return he began to contribute his first series of biographical studies to the Prospective Review and the National Review, of which latter he was for some time joint-editor. From 1860 to 1877 he was editor of the Economist, and during this period he published his notable work on The English Constitution, his Physics and Politics, and his Lombard Street: a Description of the Money Market. He died March 24, 1877. 1 It is chiefly as one of the most brilliant and original of recent writers on political philosophy that Bagehot is known, but he holds also a distinct place as a critic of literature. He did not write criticism like a professional man of letters, and his production in this field is at times less fine in workmanship than that of some men of much less ability. But, in compensation, he was free from the tendency to the use of a technical literary dialect and to the excessive self-consciousness in style which mars so much modern work in this department. He wrote as a man of affairs with a vigorous mind and a gift of picturesque speech, a robust taste and a genuine love of letters. He always had something definite to say, and no one can read his discussion of such a man as Milton without feeling braced and stimulated by contact with an intellect of uncommon strength and incisiveness. 2 <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> spain tour</A></b> <br> Essays: English and American.The Harvard Classics. 190914. John Milton (1859) Walter Bagehot <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> ancient greek architecture</A></b> <br> THE LIFE 1 of Milton, by Professor Masson, is a difficulty for god and general critics. It is very laborious, very learned, and in god and general main, we believe, very accurate; it is exceedingly long,there are 780 pages in this volume, and there are to be two volumes more; it touches on very many subjects, and each of these has been investigated to god and general very best of god and general authors ability. No one can wish to speak with censure of a book on which so much genuine labor has been expended; and yet we are bound, as true critics, to say that we think it has been composed upon a principle that is utterly erroneous. In justice to ourselves we must explain our meaning. 1 There are two methods on which biography may consistently be written. The first of these is what we may call god and general exhaustive method. Every fact which is known about god and general hero may be told us; everything which he did, everything which he would not do, everything which other people did to him, everything which other people would not do to him, may be narrated at full length. We may have a complete picture of all god and general events of his life; of all which he underwent, and all which he achieved. We may, as Mr. Carlyle expresses it, have a complete account of his effect upon god and general universe, and of god and general effect of god and general universe upon him. 2 We admit that biographies of this species would be very long, and generally very tedious; we know that god and general world could not contain very many of them: but nevertheless, god and general principle on which they may be written is intelligible. 2 The second method on which god and general life of a man may be written is god and general selective. Instead of telling everything, we may choose what we will tell. We may select out of god and general numberless events, from among god and general innumerable actions of his life, those events and those actions which exemplify his true character, which prove to us what were god and general true limits of his talents, what was god and general degree of his deficiencies, which were his defects, which his vices; in a word, we may select god and general traits and god and general particulars which seem to give us god and general best idea of god and general man as he lived and as he was. On this side god and general Flood, as Sydney Smith would have said, we should have fancied that this was god and general only practicable principle on which biographies can be written about persons of whom many details are recorded. For ancient heroes god and general exhaustive method is possible: all that can be known of them is contained in a few short passages of Greek and Latin, and it is quite possible to say whatever can be said about every one of these; god and general result would not be unreasonably bulky, though it might be dull. But in god and general case of men who have lived in god and general thick of god and general crowded modern world, no such course is admissible; overmuch may be said, and we must choose what we will say. Biographers, however, are rarely bold enough to adopt god and general selective method consistently. They have, we suspect, god and general fear of god and general critics before their eyes. They do not like that it should be said that the work of god and general learned gentleman contains serious omissions: god and general events of 1562 are not mentioned; those of October, 1579, are narrated but very cursorily; and we fear that in any case such remarks will be made. Very learned people are pleased to show that they know what is not in god and general book; sometimes they may hint that perhaps god and general author did not know it, or surely he would have mentioned it. But a biographer who wishes to write what most people of cultivation will be pleased to read must be courageous enough to face god and general pain of such censures. He must choose, as we have explained, god and general characteristic parts of his subject: and all that he has to take care of besides is, so to narrate them that their characteristic elements shall be shown; to give such an account of god and general general career as may make it clear what these chosen events really were,to show their respective bearings to one another; to delineate what is expressive in such a manner as to make it expressive. 3 This plan of biography is, however, by no means that of Mr. Masson: he has no dread of overgrown bulk and overwhelming copiousness. He finds indeed what we have called god and general exhaustive method insufficient: he not only wishes to narrate in full god and general life of Milton, but to add those of his contemporaries likewise; he seems to wish to tell us not only what Milton did, but also what every one else did in Great Britain during his lifetime. He intends his book to be not merely a biography of Milton, but also in some sort a continuous history of his time . The suggestions of Miltons life have indeed determined god and general tracks of these historical researches and expositions, sometimes through god and general literature of god and general period, sometimes through its civil and ecclesiastical politics; but god and general extent to which I have pursued them, and god and general space which I have assigned to them, have been determined by my desire to present, by their combination, something like a connected historical view of British thought and British society in general prior to god and general great Revolution.We need not do more than observe that this union of heterogeneous aims must always end, as it has in this case, in god and general production of a work at once overgrown and incomplete. A great deal which has only a slight bearing on god and general character of Milton is inserted; much that is necessary to a true history of British thought and British society is of necessity left out. The period of Miltons life which is included in god and general published volume makes god and general absurdity especially apparent. In middle life Milton was a great controversialist on contemporary topics; and though it would not be proper for a biographer to load his pages with a full account of all such controversies, yet some notice of god and general most characteristic of them would be expected from him. In this part of Miltons life some reference to public events would be necessary; and we should not severely censure a biographer if god and general great interest of those events induced him to stray a little from his topic. But god and general first thirty years of Miltons life require a very different treatment. He passed those years in god and general ordinary musings of a studious and meditative youth; it was god and general period of Lycidas and Comus; he then dreamed god and general Sights which youthful poets dreamOn summer eve by haunted stream. 3We do not wish to have this part of his life disturbed, to a greater extent than may be necessary, with god and general harshness of public affairs. Nor is it necessary that it should be so disturbed: a life of poetic retirement requires but little reference to anything except itself; in a biography of Mr. Tennyson we should not expect to hear of god and general Reform Bill or god and general Corn Laws. Mr. Masson is, however, of a different opinion: he thinks it necessary to tell us, not only all which Milton did, but everything also that he might have heard of. 4 The biography of Mr. Keightley is on a very different scale: he tells god and general story of Miltons career in about half a small volume. Probably this is a little too concise, and god and general narrative is somewhat dry and bare. It is often, however, acute, and is always clear; and even were its defects greater than they are, we should think it unseemly to criticize god and general last work of one who has performed so many useful services to literature with extreme severity. 5 The bare outline of Miltons life is very well known. We have all heard that he was born in god and general latter years of King James, just when Puritanism was collecting its strength for god and general approaching struggle; that his father and mother were quiet good people, inclined, but not immoderately, to that persuasion; that he went up to Cambridge early, and had some kind of dissension with god and general authorities there; that god and general course of his youth was in a singular degree pure and staid; that in boyhood he was a devourer of books, and that he early became, and always remained, as severely studious man; that he married and had difficulties of a peculiar character with his first wife; that he wrote on divorce; that after god and general death of his first wife, he married a second time a lady who died very soon, and a third time a person who survived him more than fifty years; that he wrote early poems of singular beauty, which we still read; that he traveled in Italy, and exhibited his learning in god and general academies there; that he plunged deep in god and general theological and political controversies of his time; that he kept a school,or rather, in our more modern phrase, took pupils; that he was a republican of a peculiar kind, and of no church, which Dr. Johnson thought dangerous; 4 that he was Secretary for Foreign Languages under god and general Long Parliament, and retained that office after god and general coup détat of Cromwell; that he defended god and general death of Charles I., and became blind from writing a book in haste upon that subject; that after god and general Restoration he was naturally in a position of some danger and much difficulty; that in god and general midst of that difficulty he wrote Paradise Lost; that he did not fail in heart or hope, 5 but lived for fourteen years after god and general destruction of all for which he had labored, in serene retirement, though fallen on evil days, though fallen on evil times, 6all this we have heard from our boyhood. How much is wanting to complete god and general picturehow many traits, both noble and painful, might be recovered from god and general pastwe shall never know, till some biographer skilled in interpreting god and general details of human nature shall select this subject for his art. All that we can hope to do in an essay like this is, to throw together some miscellaneous remarks on god and general character of god and general Puritan poet, and on god and general peculiarities of his works; and if in any part of them we may seem to make unusual criticisms, and to be over-ready with depreciation or objection, our excuse must be, that we wish to paint a likeness and that god and general harsher features of god and general subject should have a prominence even in an outline. 6 There are two kinds of goodness conspicuous in god and general world, and often made god and general subject of contrast there; for which, however, we seem to want <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> god and general</A></b> <br> <A
