Excerpt from Studies in Biography
The part which great men have played in the develop ment of events, moreover, imparts a personal interest to the historical narrative. We follow with keener relish in the fortunes of a man than the progress of a movement: and, though a nation may be rushing, like some mighty locomotive, through the ages to an unknown future, the spectator may be pardoned for concentrating his atten tion on the driver, who stands on the footboard and controls the machine.
