Excerpt from John Bright and the Party of Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform
This Volume is not, in the ordinary sense of the term, a biography. Mr. Bright"s life has been comparatively uneventful, so far as the general public is concerned in knowing or inquiring into it; and the reasons which in any case impose silence or reserve upon one who traces the career of an eminent man during his lifetime apply with special force in this instance.
In the House of Commons and on the platform Mr. Bright has freely lifted the veil from his thoughts, his motives of action, his political and even his religious belief, so that as a statesman and orator we seem to know him better than any other man of the century. But beyond these limits he is less known; and it is his privilege to be so. He has been characteristically a man of the people - loving, as he said at the moment when he was invited to enter Mr. Gladstone"s first Cabinet, to remain among his own people.
