Excerpt from The Marquis of Salisbury IT is scarcely necessary to vindicate the claim of the Marquis of Salisbury to a place among the heroes of the Victorian era. During a period of the most intense national excitement he selected a position and steadily maintained it amidst all the drift on either side, and he gathered round his person a strong party, some of whom were almost hereditary enemies to his political faith, and drew them into the closest pos sible alliance with his other followers. Having formed a party, he by their aid originated and successfully accomplished some of the most femarkable reforms, social and political, that ever braced Britain for her destiny among the nations, and, above all things, he has, more than any Minister since Pitt, elevated the name and increased the authority Of England among the Great Powers of' Europe. These proofs of super lative ability are admitted even by those who differ most widely from him upon Vital questions, indeed, most thoughtful natives of these isles now agree that he bulks and will be remembered as one of the greatest statesmen Of our day.
