This list might be enlarged, but enough is given
to show that even with brilliant talents it requires
long service to give weight and influence in parlia-
mentary labors, and secure to the abest statesman
a national reputation. There have been few periods
when experience and ability, and the influence
which they give, were more needed in the National
Legislature than at present.
