Book Description
Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Diaries of Sir Stafford Northcote, First Earl of Iddesleigh The intellect of Sir Stafford Northcote may perhaps best be described as ready at every need. It was ad mirably disciplined rather than vivid and original. His powers were always entirely at his command, so that what ever he could do, he could do with ease. His education and his taste gave him a wide command of literature, at once an ornament and a consolation. His education had made him acquainted with the best that has been written and said in the ancient and the modern European lang nages. His love of poetry was at once ardent and refined. Seldom has the same quality of spirit accompanied so much quantity of intellectual force ready to be employed in all the details of business. Perhaps only in Mr Gladstone, at least during our age, have the qualities of the man of letters and of the financier been so combined. As a rule they are divorced. What was peculiar to Sir Stafford, at once his force and his limitation, was the practicalxviii introduction.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Diaries of Sir Stafford Northcote, First Earl of Iddesleigh, Vol. 1 of 2 Mankind, says Alexandre Dumas, have for six-thou sand years been hooting at this divine drama of the world; for myself, I shall never cease to applaud it. Sir Stafford would probably never have expressed his thought about the world in this fashion, but the attitude of Dumas was his. He did not quarrel with life, nor with his part in the play: he was as ignorant of discontent as Nelson was of fear. His part he played to the very best of his ability, but for its own sake, not for the sake of any prizes. In later life the part was not always that which he might have chosen, that for which he might have hoped; but he never for a moment allowed regret or ambition to divert his loyalty. No one could injure him by thwarting him: though he was not a reader of the Imperial Stoic, he unconsciously lived in the belief that he was not to be harmed by any man, nor by any influ ence from without. This is the happy warrior in the cruel war of politics, and this he was. His tranquillity was his strength, and this tranquillity could not exist in the same heart with love of self, with a selfish and exclu sive ambition.
