Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018

∗ My authority here, as well as in numerous instances, is the recently published life of Lord Brougham, by the late Lord Campbell. Its imperfections and faults are obvious; but the absence of reserve on points upon which most biographers are silent, is a great assistance in an enquiry like the present.Google Scholar
∗ It is much to be regretted that the biographer immediately escapes from the track upon which for a moment he here enters, in correctly describing the order of events, and ungenerously adds, “but I much doubt whether anything could have saved this misguided man from the promptings of the evil genius which he carried about with him in his own breast, and which was ever ready to lead him astray,” Life, p. 432.Google Scholar
