Not illustrated. 1852 Excerpt: ...quite so graceful; quite as sumptuous, though not quite so polished; quite as lordly, though not quite so gentlemanly; altogether a redoubtable array of pursegirded potentates, the real lords of this real golden age. They are the English barons of the nineteenth century. It is around their castles the people cluster; it is from their hand the people take their bread; it is with their fortunes the people thrive or pine; it is at their bidding the people sit down amid plenty, or go out to struggle with the world for food. The great manufacturers and the great merchants are now our only feudal powers. They have real interests involved with the people, close relations with them, personal contact, and personal influence over their temper and condition. In their persons the workman meets the ranks above him. Their influence on the legislature is rapidly outstripping that of their more noble precursors, and their influence on the people is far more direct, continuous, and fruitful. Our peace in the future little depends on the dispersed population of those districts wherein the personal influence of the aristocracy is yet considerable; but it does most closely depend on those aggregations of stirring men over whom our commercial magnates preside. From these we have to dread the hurricanes, the earthquakes, and the eruptions. It is important in this day that English lords should be wise and magnanimous; but, perhaps, it is still more important that English masters should be considerate and winning. We are not much in danger of cruelty: we are greatly in danger of indifference. Eew would do their men harm, would tamper with PEHSONAL INFLUENCE. 191 their rights, would enforce anything manifestly injurious. All would pay the men regularly, punctually, and in full--of ...
