Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manchester Worthies and Their Foundations, or Six Chapters of Local History: With an Epilogue, by Way of Moral In that discussion, whenever it may come, it will not be for me to bear any prominent part. The question will have to be decided by persons whose deservedly influential position gives weight to their opinions, and authority to their actions. But, just as in a campaign there must be generals to command the whole army, officers to head regiments, soldiers to win battles, and also pioneers to open the trenches, sappers to work the mines, engineers to make the escarpements, and fatigue parties to carry the earth-bags and fascines; so in the agitation of public questions, there must be not only men qualified to be leaders when those questions become ripe for final decision, but also the humble pioneers, working in obscurity, yet helping to create that array of public opinion which gathers force by degrees until it comes to be irresistible.
