of this in the huge volume here published by the
Messrs. Longman)—Lord. Brougham, instead of
merely indulging in showy exhibitions of his vari-
ous and virile genius, has been securing to the com-
munity all the solid good resulting from these bold
and comprehensive reforms of the law ; thereby
building up his own most glorious, enviable, and
imperclitrahle monument-. Born in the September
of 17;8, Lord is co riseq,iwitly, at „his

to know, the eightieth year of a man whose g,nius
is still vital with all the energies, the ardour, the
hopefulness, the buoyancy of youth. May that
vitality long remain unimpaired ! With
which earnest aspiration we close ear present
and most inadequate tribute to that venerable
and patrician Senator, in whom, as a Commoner,
we still gratefully remember the daring and daunt-
less Tribune of the English People.
