Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Eminent British Statesmen, Vol. 2 IN giving the lives of the most prominent actors upon the great and awful stage of the Old English Revolution, the Author has thought himself justified in departing from the system observed by his pre decessors, and, instead of the numerous individual sketches that, under other circumstances, are all that is necessary, devoting awhole volume at a time to but two or three of those eventful biographies which include the histories of minor contemporaries, and, indeed, the history of the age itself. For the times, awful as they were, were scarcely greater than the men - the ideas of both present them selves to us at once, like shadowy and solid giants standing together, and hardly letting us discern which leads the other.
