"Lord Liverpool... is much more entitled to the gratitude and admiration... than some statesmen who have enjoyed... more... He was one of that class of Ministers... patient, prudent, and patriotic; careless of his own fame, so that... measures were pursued which he considered for the public good; shunning... popular applause; and by his clear common sense... unselfishness, and... equanimity, solving problems and surmounting difficulties which more brilliant men are wont either to create or to exasperate."
