The views of. The great Tory leader were, on the other hand, carried to the opposite extreme, and in the study of comparative evil, it would be curious to learn which of the two is the more mischievous, the injury that ensues from over haste, or that which attends upon over deliberation. The career of Lord Eldon is the biography of a man never content with half-measures or hurried duties. His intellectual grasp was so powerful that he was never satisfied until he had fathomed the subj ect that interested him to its lowest depths. Not slow, but patient, laborious, and intensely deliberative, he would weigh and analyze every argument that he read, heard, or uttered, till he felt it impossible that the deductions he arrived at could be erroneous. The severest master he had to satisfy was himself. Though destitute of imagination, his was one of those quick, acute minds which see obj ections where others fail to perceive them, and comprehend a question from so many points of view that decision necessarily be comes a matter of always long and painful process.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the influential life and political career of Lord Eldon, a renowned 19th-century Lord Chancellor of England. The author provides an in-depth look at Eldon's unwavering commitment to cautious and deliberate decision-making, a principle captured in his maxim, "sat cito si sat bene" (better done slowly if done well). Through analysis of Eldon's legal and political career, the author highlights the complexities of navigating political and social change while balancing tradition and progress. Eldon's staunch opposition to Catholic emancipation and his support of the established Church, in contrast with his compassionate personal life, illustrate the nuances and paradoxes of his beliefs. This book delves into the impact of Eldon's conservatism on British society, offering valuable insights into the interplay between legal, political, and societal forces that shaped the era.
